    You know those silly Americans, always gotta be switching the clutch and brake pedals just to confuse drivers.

    Seriously, how on earth to do you get the clutch when you're going for the brake? Something doesn't add up, anyone left foot braking a non-automatic is a complete moron...there has to be more to the story.

    but Keiichi Tsuchiya and Manabu Orido use left foot braking in manual gearboxes in the majority of touge battles?

    tell me if I'm wrong, but the whole point of left foot braking is to decrease the time in btwn. braking and throttle input, which is probably what that guy was trying to do?

    either way- that guy sucks

    To stop at the end or even during the last turn of a cone dodging event? It's primarily a rally or drift technique but rarely ever used...and almost never on a road course or track....
