Does anyone left-foot brake?

Left foot braking is the fastest way to go for many reasons, once you get it down. I have used my left foot to brake since the early 90's. I sacrificed an entire season to get to the point I was faster than right foot braking. I taught by daughter since she was 10 years old in Karts to always left foot brake while autocrossing. It is natural for her to left foot brake on the track.
As far as using the clutch with a Jericho or G-Force or similar type transmission, I rarely use the clutch up or down shifting. Here is a video of me driving my Camaro and not using the clutch while left foot braking and downshifting.

In autocross you may have many braking zones but in most cases zero downshift zones. These are the areas most of us are talking about left foot braking.

On a road course where many corners also are downshift zones, how ones feet work the pedals can be completely different.

This is why I have never become comfortable left foot braking on a road course yet left foot brake 100% of the time on an autocross course.

Brian --- I've been waiting for you to chime in!! Because I know you left foot brake.

You're driving at a "professional level" -- you've done this for YEARS and you drive OFTEN.

The average guy that drives 3 or 4 events a year tries a clutchless downshift in a dog box car.... and he'll have his hands full in a hurry.

I just barely disengage the clutch on downshifts - rev match - select a gear and get ready to be back in the throttle. Even then I mess it up! LOL
