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.

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

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

A lot of people give left braking a bad rap. I see their points they make. A few are that drivers ride the brake, its less precise, or panic and press both. I find this not to be true but then again this depends on the type of driver you are and what you have been accustomed to. My dad is a left driver and i have never seen anyone have such precise brake and gas control as he has. I did a text without him knowing where i put a full 44 oz circle k cup on the floor to see if it would tip while we drove around town.The cup dint tip.I you think your braking is good try this and see if it tips. most likely you wont make it past a few turns before it tips. As for the thing where you press it too hard you can fix that by resting your left foot on the ground not directly in front of the pedal but slightly off to one side. it forces your foot to make smaller adjustments and yields a less touchy braking as opposed to your foot being in front of it and tempting you to just extend your foot hard into it.

Also, being a qualified mechanic and studying automotive engineering I know what I'm talking about. I have tested this in diesel, petrol, (semi-)automatic, manual, you name it. So it could be different where you live, I don't know. Keep in mind that this isn't the case with vehicles which have a physical cable connecting the pedal to the engine.

The technique is correct, but the explanation is incorrect. The traction is created by creating resistance on the spinning wheel (by braking) so that the other front wheel will get power/torque. Most FWD cars use open differential. When one wheel starts spinning, the other wheel has no torque.

I know that Nissan's have brake override technology in case people stomp on both of the pedals in a panic situation. I wish there was an option to turn that off. Thankfully, I have not experienced it in a Subaru.

So you can shift the car without using the clutch when its moving in a stock transmission or do i need some type of shift linkage to make it work?

That's the Only way I'm going to Learn how to Drive a Manual!! I'm Left footed so my muscle memory is all on my left leg . when I drive an Automatic I use right foot for gas and Left For break....if I try only using right foot my leg gets confused and it reacts really slow 😪!! Does anyone else have this problem?

Is this car common of American cars? I find it interesting that your driving position is on the other side of the car to us over here, but the pedal arrangement appears to be the same, i.e the clutch is the left pedal, then brake in the middle, then gas on the right?

Hi! Very good explanation, but i still don't get why you would need to brake with your left foot? What are the advantages?
@balintfarago9760
@balintfarago9760 8 жыл бұрын
in my opinion I only use left foot brake in turns. you can stabilize your car back in turns or dirft. i think in normal streets you dont have to use it. I only do left foot brakeing in rally training on a speed stage. Its only important if you are a rally racer or a drifter(but drifters mustly use handbrake)

My dad has all the categories BCDE so do I, and when he gave me lessons for first time, probably at the age of 10, one of the first things he said was, NEVER use your left leg to brake! I'm Bulgarian,but its the same in UK where I live,non of me mates brakes with left leg... its not natural I guess ...
@MrBS4
@MrBS4 10 жыл бұрын
It is not natural. And you do not need to use it in must case. This statement is true especially you only stat on the public road. But if you are going to a track with a FF or MR car, you will need it to shift your weight to counter the understeer in some case.

I have been left foot braking on an automatic car with no problems. However on a manual with 3 pedals, the brake pedal is closer to the gas pedal. My balls feel crushed when left foot braking, how do you guys do it?

truck2224, that's not true. you just have to match the rpm. rev up for downshift, rev down for up shifting. releasing the torque on the gear box too.

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.
@bobhope4288
@bobhope4288 10 жыл бұрын
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.

Thank you for a prompt reply< Is there a technique or a formula for specific outcome, Sort of like aiming for the apex and trail braking is used with FWD for example> To where left foot braking would be more beneficial in a situation A but not B in a different drive train?

Yes there are a handful of different techniques based on what result you're trying to get, and it's pretty different in a FWD versus an AWD or RWD

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?
@Teamoneilrally
@Teamoneilrally 5 жыл бұрын
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.
