Texas Dave of the ‪@RallyReady‬ gives us an introduction to left foot braking and why it is critical to your rallying success due to the nature of the sport for not just stopping your vehicle but also ensuring it is positioned correctly before and during cornering.
In this first lesson of four at the Rally Ranch, we will apply the left foot braking technique to some straight-line braking exercises in order to start to train our brain on where to position our left foot and also how to modulate it more than the simple 'up or down' usage it tends to see on the clutch pedal.
As well as this technique you will learn how to start thinking more about your hand position on the wheel while cornering which is very different from normal street or circuit driving and just like straight-line braking it is something best started in a low-speed situation.
It doesn't matter if you're in a UTV, rallycross, rally sprint, hill climb car, off-roader, FWD, AWD, RWD or your mums Honda Odyssey, these techniques will apply.

[@KendiDIY]

Coaching in a 2 door GC8!

[@nipzmaitipe4239]

Drags, drifts and here we go ❤🌙

[@nathantiller889]

I love the fact that I know Dave and have done the rally school in Austin. Awesome to see y’all get together

[@hpa101]

The man, the legend eh! Andre and Dave go way back to when Andre thought he needed to wear a shirt: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJaUiIaZlMh2pck I'm glad those days are gone, as it also means that I do not have to wear a shirt 😂 Keep an eye out for the next few and depending on where you're at with your own driving maybe you'll learn a new way to scare the crap out of Dave on your next trip to the ranch - Taz.

[@adriansong1872]

LFB is the special sauce !

[@shadwellsong]

this is sooooooooo great - thank you!

[@darianistead2239]

Left foot braking also stops stalling if you lock up and gets you on boost quicker. I still brake with my left driving automatics on the road, a hangover from carting.

[@jasonbyrd7360]

THANK YOU GOOD SIR for sharing vids of 🤔🤔 ( side note = MEE SNOLINE 1997 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport 🥁🥁❄️❤️✌️✌️👍) Left foot braking with a Manual transmission..

[@NoSleepRacing]

Thanks for the motivation I bought a my00 white RS to build last week and this put a smile on my face lol

[@hpa101]

Enjoy it and congrats on the purchase! - Taz.

[@meischix]

Hi Dave! What’s next on the hyperblue WRX build? 😅

[@calebc6028]

these are good ideas, more driving technique please!

[@hpa101]

We have 3 more lined up to follow this one with old mate Dave. Glad you enjoyed this! - Taz.

[@abepenner7497]

I developed the left foot braking habit as an off-road log truck driver.

[@hpa101]

Got to be a bit of a nerve wracking occupation at times. It's impressive where you fellas swing those trucks and loads around. Probably not much good in a rally, but there's videos like this and Daves Rally Ranch for that 🤘- Taz.

[@hyper8545]

Drifting and rally racing are very similar driving styles

[@IngeBall]

Cool! Btw, what happend with that employee that was building a rallycar?

[@hpa101]

Brandon, he's still building it, but he's saving up some more money for the next push so not a huge amount has happened (at least not visually. He's done a lot of seam welding). In the meantime him and a few of the boys here have been building a 180hp Honda City. I'll see about starting a build thread. We dialed back the vlogs sadly due to time constraints 😔 - Taz.

[@IngeBall]

@@hpa101 There is , as always, too few hours in a day. It's nice with down to earth builds as it's hard for most people to relate (and pay) to billetblocks, Motec, Holinger and so forth though very interesting. Anyway, I'm enjoying your material ☺

[@hpa101]

Yes it doesn't take much to build a bit of a bill when it comes to setting something up eh! We'll probably have a bit of content out on the City before Brandon manages to do a Starlet update, will see how it goes. The City will run a Maxx ECU and PDM as well which we will do Worked Example on for the course material. A few things on it are a bit more than average, but it's also a rough as guts Honda City with a B18C squished in it, it's never going to be a big budget car 😅 Here's a clip of Brandon giving it it's first run out on the weekend. Brake bias and a torn CV boot were really the only 2 things that stopped it from being trouble free, so not that bad all things considered: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5-koaerZbN7aM0 It's about 12 seconds faster than my rather stock NA MX5 on road tyres for a comparison. Anyway, more info than you needed or probably wanted, but that's what we're up to behind the scenes here at the minute either way - Taz.

[@IngeBall]

Nice! MaxxEcu is a competent system with a nice pricetag. I guess Brandon might need a push so LET'S GO BRANDON! (like he never heard that one 🤣)

[@hpa101]

He certainly needs a bit of a boot and some less distraction, he'll get there and hopefully the holidays prove a help in that respect too 😎 - Taz.

[@sexyfacenation]

Hard to believe he didn't say "If you go hard enough left, you'll find yourself going right."

[@DaveFazzino]

Always left foot brake unless down shifting...
