What is "left-foot braking"?
Left-foot braking is a driving technique where the driver uses the left foot to press the brake pedal while keeping the right foot on the accelerator. This technique is commonly used in racing or performance driving to help maintain control of the vehicle, especially when making fast turns or downshifting. By braking with the left foot, the driver can keep the right foot ready to accelerate quickly when needed, allowing for faster responses and smoother transitions between braking and acceleration. It also helps prevent lifting off the accelerator too quickly, which can affect the car's balance.
