Quick explanation of Left Foot Braking filmed on site at the Team O'Neil Rally School. Left foot braking is useful for any race car driving and for daily driving on the street. Left foot braking is critical for rally car driving more than other racing because the drivers are constantly managing road speed, understeer, and oversteer. Feel free to post any questions or comments, we'll get to them shortly.

I moved out a bit to the countryside several months ago and watched this video around about that time too. Part of my daily commute involves several km of twisty dirt road as well as some twisty tarmac sections. I started practicing left foot braking on my way to and from work each day and I am glad to say it has now just become natural to use my left foot to brake and slow down or balance the car through corners on both surfaces! I have started implementing it when I go to the race track too and am finding new levels of car control that were previously a mystery! This video really helped me though, particularly the tip about keeping your heel on the floor when starting! Prior to that I would always apply far too much brake force when I tried it.

Sometimes my left foot is catching the break a little bit as well as the clutch and this is funny (but not int that particular moment, absolutely not). Also I sometimes press the throttle a bit when breaking and have a motor spinning a little bit faster than idle which sounds strange for a second or two until I understand the reason. And no, I don't have Alzheimer (yet).

Had a better time learning the pedal feel on an automatic trans first. The switch to the manual went way smoother. Try it in an open lot , you may come to a screeching halt the first few. It also helps to be proficient at heel toe before you try as well as double clutch shift but I only really double in older cars, but every once in a while on my STi.

I agree with Billy Elliot Mann as I too would like to see a full speed run and how that looks when at speed. I also would like to hear the engine/see the tach so I could get a feel for how much engine braking vs load with the brakes affects the car. Maybe a similar video with interior and foot cams run at speed with engine sound and with one run done with no commentary and the same run again with commentary. Great to see and hear the instruction and thanks for putting it out there.

i agree LFB is a good technique, but it needs real practice to be used on street, and i think it's more appropriate to be used in street cars with AT trans just like in karts, F1, and rally (rally in particular as brake bias is on the rear), the thing though with LFB really is it creates confusion - your brake lights keep lighting - with other drivers (as they may not really know if you're braking or what) on street and may cause accident. I drive normally on street but i use LFB in karts and race sims, i really think LFB is best left in racing on tracks

Thank you for this video! I apply LFBing at all times, and shift without clutch when appropriate. I lost a wrx and have an automatic now. Left foot breaking in an automatic is the only escape from my emasculation! In a real car (standard) the transition from LFB to RFB is almost a process of logic if you need to clutch. It did definitely make me very neurotic about civilian drivers breaking through turns when they should do all of their breaking before they go into a turn! I also get irritated by people taking Corners at 2 miles per hour like their car is going to flip if they went any faster, but that is a completely different story. In the end, if everybody drove like they knew how to Rally then everybody would drive way better and there would be no such thing as a traffic jam

Would be nice to see a run with the foot cam "flat out" through sections of the school. It's good to hear the audio and slower speed for instructional purpose, but it would be nice to have a view showing the feet and hear the engine at full clip. Gives a good view of how things are done at rally speed.

so i skimmed the comments and didn't see anyone mention why you might even want to left foot brake. in a FWD car it lightens the back end, makes for a sharper turn in or can help swing the back around. same for AWD just not the the same effect since theres still power going to your rear. in a RWD car only thing i can imagine is it would allow you to keep you revs up while exiting a corner. and for all 3 if you have a turbo it helps keep it spooled up on the exit. basically all used on tracks/off road course.
@h3Xh3Xh3X
@h3Xh3Xh3X 9 жыл бұрын
All cars will weight transfer forward when braking (as you said, lightens the back end), regardless if they are RWD or FWD.This gives more traction to the front tires, which are doing the turning. Lightening the rear will cause more oversteer, or like you said, sharper turn in. If you brake with the right foot, you are wasting time getting back on the throttle after the apex of a corner. The amount of time it takes to remove the right foot from the throttle and move it over and onto the brake pedal (and then back to the throttle pedal) will cost you precious time. You can accelerate quicker out of the corner if you left foot brake going in. With left-foot-braking, there is no lost time; the transition from throttle to braking is immediate. (Source: Ultimate speed secrets by Ross Bentley) After working up the necessary sensitivity in the left foot (kart racing will help with this), left-foot-braking will also help you drive smoother. It allows you to alter speed without upsetting the balance of the car as much. This means that you will not go beyond the limit of traction of the tires, going into a slide or spin. I really recommend the book I referenced, if you are interested in racing any sort of car in any sort of race!

Denny Dubs in rwd you can use it to control some slip into the car. if you watch the OG Japanese drifters they use a foot brake feint to drift and hardly ever use the e-brake. you can drift really close to people by using the throttle and left foot braking to keep the front and rear of the car in check. touge and rally would see rwd benefits in left foot braking because some slip may be necessary.

That's a very important thing what he's talking about: get used to L foot braking first to feel the braking force... I remember when I've been trying the stuff in my previous car which was less sensitive on brake pedal and once I tried it on my another car I had the hard braking memory 'in my L leg'... I tried that for the first time on the car in fairly slow moving traffic intending to slow down just a bit, but It really surprise me that I brake really hard and the traffic begind me was really surprise - they could crash into me... It would be my fault in my opinion, but insurance companies always think opposite ^^' The best advice - try it first off road.

I have always left foot braked, and once it came in handy. I was driving on a two lane highway one night and a cat ran out in front of me. I didn't think much about it until I saw a dog coming out of some bushes next to the road. The first thing I did was brake as hard as I could with my left foot, but when I realized I wasn't slowing down fast enough, I put both feet on the brake and pushed through the ABS. I stopped with about 6m/20ft before the dog (which by the way was a huge white german shepherd) but thankfully I stopped before anything happened. I was the only one on the road and ever since I was getting lessons when I was 15, I have always left foot braked. I have tried right foot braking and all that happens is I don't know where the contact point is with the brakes, so I am overaggressive with them. Ironically, I am forced to drive automatic since I have no car of my own.

Can you please explain the no clutch shifting please? Especially the downshifting. I see you use the throttle. Is it like: turn the gear off then short throttle then turn the down gear on when rotation speeds are in sync? So the up shifting is just releasing the throttle and switch the gear off at the same time while the gears have no load (a really short moment) then wait for the motor spin to slow (1/3 of a second) then turn the up gear on. Do I understand the idea correctly? Is it ok for the gearbox and its synchronizers?

I can already do everything you showed in the video. I'm just not exactly sure how you use the brake against the throttle to make the car slide. Not sure how and when to apply the brake and why that makes the car slide... is that a lift-off over-steer type thing where you get the slide after because sometimes it feels like braking against the throttle just causes me to understeer, like when I'm in the snow.

It seems to me, and maybe I'm wrong, but this is really not an issue on RWD cars, it's really more to balance a FWD car and to cause the rear to slide, if you flick the car into the corner, use lift-off oversteer or have a RWD car, this doesn't seem to be an advantage, unless you want to move more weight to the front.

LOL I always left foot brake when I'm doing a rally sim, so when I tried doing it in real life, I realized pretty quickly thatin racing I break very hard, so I really had never had the experience of just slowly at using the brake pedal with my left foot. When you're on asphalt in a Toyota Camry, slamming on the brakes doesn't really work very well.

I have a question and need your opinion. Left foot braking increases responsiveness mid turn, so in theory it has a similar effect as an LSD would have? The torque and braking limit slim in a way... What is your opinion on this?

Left foot braking definitely allows you to control your wheel speeds much more precisely. If you're only using the gas on a slippery road, it's easy for an open differential to spin one tire (usually the inside of the corner). If you ride a little LFB in the same situation, it doesn't let that tire spin so it's exactly like you say where it acts as a limited slip diff.

All of the above. It shortens reaction time, lets you transfer weight so you can rotate the car, and gives you very precise control over your wheel speeds on a slippery road.

Does the LFB help induce initial drift when entering the corner? I autocross my Evo9 and I'm trying to fix my problem trying to get the car to swing around before the apex so I can rocket out during exit. I see Tommi Makinen do this every time in WRC when he was still driving for Mitsubishi. Before he even enters the corner, the rear end of the car already starts to swing out and by the time he reach the apex, the car is almost pointing toward the exit corner and the car exits with no countersteer and the car is pointed forward.

+Jover Romualdo Trail braking will help bring the rear around as you mention, using the left foot only allows you to add gas sooner/during cornering. Not sure if using some gas while trail braking will help, very possible considering the Evo's AWD yaw control under throttle.

+Jover Romualdo I see, I knew the Evo 4 had it so i assumed. If trail braking alone can't get the rear to slide out then the fastest cornering should rely on slow-in fast-out. On pavement it pays off to stay within the grip limits of the tires (or right on it).

@MrBS4
@MrBS4 9 жыл бұрын
You are unlikely to disable it without voiding your warranty (e.g. hacking your ECU). I am very upset about the newer car have all this features just for those dumb asses refuse to learn how to drive, and force other people to pay for this features they do not really need. Driver Manuel for driver license from my father's generation actually has instruction in regards to how to safely stop a car with jam throttle. And for some reason, they took it out when I am getting the later revision of the Manuel.

Depending how fast the ECU reacts, You can still left foot brake, and maintain full throttle, then as soon as the corner permits release pressure from brake and automatically resume full power.. Faster then the human foot can transfer from brake to gas in one motion.

jose pontes applying the right amount of braking transfers weight/momentum to the front of the car, which means less traction for the rear wheels which then can result in drifts quite easily on gravel/mud scenarios. Thats the way rally drivers with fwd cars do drifts, myself included. Hella fun in my opinion :p

You'll be fine. I've beat the crap out of a lot of cars with automatics and put well over 100K miles in a couple mixing left foot braking and back in the day even power braking them. I have never had a torque converter fail on me. Automatics are easiest to learn in because you don't have to worry about shifting. I always make it a point to strictly left foot brake anytime I drive an automatic. You may go through brake pads a little faster than normal when learning to overlap the gas and brake.
