  1. So to say NEVER brake and gas at the same time is false. Its done all the time driving a FWD on a road course, rally, and in snow also.

     

    i m talking road courses and autocrosses (go back and read my earlier posts where I outlined the domain of my argument).....rallying is a whole different animal... the video you posted shows the driver covering the pedals, not pressing them at the same time...also the audio is out of sync so you can't rely on audio correlation to the visual......

     

     

    but I digress

  2. I left foot brake almost everything I drive, specially underpowered cars like the FR-S. Why would you not? You lose that spilt second every time you hit the brakes. A true road racer will have ZERO delay from full gas to the brakes are applied. There is a great Top gear where Hammond gets data logged in a F1 car and it takes him something like .2 seconds from gas to brakes and the data collection guy said that was WAY too long.

     

    If your not hitting the brakes when the gas is still on the floor your flat out losing time in any form of racing.

     

    Hell i brake my mountain bike while still pedaling and i am by no means a good driver/rider.

     

    there's a difference between LFB and braking while on the gas

     

    I specifically said there should be no time where you are on both AT THE SAME TIME....not 0.0001 seconds difference, grass hopper.....

     

    I may not have a lot of experience driving on road courses but that much I know from personal experience....never be on the brakes and gas at the same moment

  3. Yeah, to turn all the nannies off you have to hold the TRAC OFF button for about 5 seconds. At that point you have only ABS and Toyota's Smart Stop (thanks Prius owners, burn in hell) system. Luckily the Smart Stop feature doesn't seem to interfere with left-foot braking.

     

    one shouldn't be on the brakes and gas at the same time anyway during road course and autocross driving anyway...unless you are combatting pad knock-back and/or checking brake presence at the end of a long straight (both are close to being the same thing)
