Left foot braking with pedals

Recommended Posts

Hi all, will be getting my first wheel and pedal set next week. 

Am I right in assuming you should be braking with the left foot unlike in a road car? Guess this will take some getting used to?

Yes. For F1 the drivers use right foot throttle left brake. This allows them to maximise the anoint of time on throttle and minimise braking times. It will take some getting used to yes!

In a kart you brake with the left foot and you accelerate with the right foot too.
But it's no problem if you drive home in a road car ^^ 
at least for me xD I didn't break with my left foot in the road car by accident :smiley:

I started left foot braking about 3 months ago and I prefer it for everything.......but I was driving my Daughter to work yesterday and forgot and used my left foot to brake. I just about filled my shorts. I've been playing a lot of Forza lately like every day. I drive more on the sim then in my real car.

You can probably switch the pedals around if you don't want to get used to it. I know I can in my T3PA set.

Does anyone else use the Clutch pedal for braking or am I the only weirdo? I was doing it by accident at first but I got so used to it that the normal brake pedal feels weird. And wrong.
