I will work on getting my line right and being smoother first. Then once I've got that worked out, I'll give LFB a try.

 

No, I was trailbraking out of instinct because I was going into the turn too fast... {ahem}

As far as the motor mount goes... I think you're car just didn't like hauling my fat ass around and it was a form of protest...

 

Right, because I'm such a featherweight... and so is Jim....

 

That's all relative Jesse......

 

Unless your racing formula cars at a pro level or carts in general, it's not really neccesary. It's also an extremely hard skill to pick up and properly execute unless you've learned to drive from the beginning using it. I use it in a few select corners at different tracks to get the rear to come around a little, but that's a different type of left foot braking altogether. Only a few Formula One drivers can do it properly, like Schumaker, but many cannot, like Barrichello.

 

first you should try spelling their names correctly

 

I guess I should. Sorry.

 

It's not that hard to learn. It's hard to learn it in the autox environment because you're only going out for 60 seconds at a time with a limited number of runs. But I taught myself to do it on the street over a winter several years ago, and the next spring I started doing it on course.

As someone mentioned, you have to overcome your left-foot's tendency to slam to the floor. You have to learn to modulate the brake with your left foot. That's pretty easy to practice on the street as you're coasting up to a stop light and that sort of thing. From there, you can start practicing actually USING it to slow for turns (when there's no traffic around, of course) and power out of them. The first time you get it right, you WILL know.

Then you're ready to put it to use on course and get past the final hurdle... learning to move your left foot from the clutch to the brake and back as naturally as your right foot moves from gas to brake. You'll likely find yourself blowing through a turn or two from pushing on the clutch trying to stop... or locking up your brakes when going for that 2nd gear downshift. Eventually you'll get it right.
