Rally Lab Episode 1 // How to Left Foot Brake

[@RumbleKar]

Can confirm, Dave is the right person to teach you this. Works even better when he teaches you in person

[@RallyReady]

Thanks, amigo! Hope to see you again asap!!

[@racepaddock6535]

The man, the myth, the legend. Texas Dave.

[@RallyReady]

Some say he's 3/4 dog, and deodorant only works on him for about 21 minutes. All we know is, he's called Texas Dave.

[@pierrelandry384]

Good catch Dave at the 1:01 moment showing the 3 pedals with your fingers. You almost went from clutch to the gas pedal... that would have been awkward 😅 First time viewer... instant subscriber. Your coaching might even help my sim racing on EA Sports WRC 👊

[@robertd57i989]

Just told my wife about you guys being 3 hours away and showed her the deals. She said it cost way more than that do to that kind of class..."not if i leave here stupid early in the morning and come back the same day" end of debate. Definitely after we do our Christmas shopping i will be planning a Me Day to see you guys. Also, badass job on that sti. Makes me want to do mine

[@RallyReady]

My man. So stoked to see you guys! And hell if you're only 3 hours away we're neighbors in rally terms!

[@Polemicist_]

Don't ever let your woman deprave you of what you love. Go get you some rally lessons.

[@merik1991]

I’m only half way into the video,but man you brought back memories of me trying left foot braking for the first times and how I pushed on that pedal brake like it’s the clutch resulting in me slamming my head into the wheel 😂😂😂

[@MikkoRantalainen]

The tip about twisting your big toe away from the brake pedal to modulate brake pressure it was really good for beginners! That allows much more accurate modulation than trying to twist your ankle.

[@octavia458]

This is awesome. How come only one episode?

[@nightowlrally]

The first rally school video (virtual, Dirt Rally 2.0) I did, I also made a Fast and Furious reference. I feel a kinship forming with Texas Dave.

[@daysleeprx512]

Great video Mr. Hotsnak…I mean Texas Dave

[@aok5298]

Texas Dave is a cool really funny fukr!! Can’t believe the channel doesn’t have many subs for the years of posting.. 🤷‍♂️ I’m a fan .. from New Zealand where we have a rally history dating back decades

[@connorofarrell5518]

Why does this guy not have 500k subs?

[@InformalGreeting]

Episode 1... Over 2 hears old. With that much time needed to produce episode 2 I expect it to be spectacular.

[@RallyReady]

haha we should get around to posting that one!

[@Tiburon3707]

Nice job expressing this tool

[@TheCornerKiller]

SO entertaining 😂

[@andrewbillington5422]

My first time left foot braking was clutch in, break in... all the way in. The clutch disengaged at the bottom, so my left foot was used to that. Learning the break is not the clutch was a lesson in itself. After that I was ok at it. Until my newer cars where the break cuts the throttle. That was a new experience. -a pretend rally driver

[@nightowlrally]

Yep! I'm used to a heavier clutch so I got used to pushing out with my toes (bite point just happened to fit where I relaxed my foot) when shifting, so yeah, based lol. I found it went better when I backed my heel away from the brake pedal just a touch and kinda anchor it there.

[@localgames1]

Thanks for uploading these videos.

[@RallyReady]

Thanks for watchin 'em!

[@anoobhey5798]

Good video. Excited to see more!

[@RallyReady]

Thanks, friend! Working on getting some more done soon.

[@cmbaileytstc]

My tribe calls you Turtle-Saver now

[@alexrec3192]

Question about running with a disabled booster. Do you have any other mods to increase the leverage of the pedal (i.e. smaller master)? Or are the pads you run enough to compensate for the loss in braking force? I've driven an older WRX with aggressive street pads and a disabled booster and it was next to impossible to lock up the wheels on gravel.

[@MiMMiMMiMMiM]

Where are the other Episodes ?!?

[@ivanfrasure2228]

Love your videos, thank you!

[@bbehzadi413]

More hyper blue STI videos please 🙏🏻

[@TripSkyWalker]

I prefer to use my middle foot while braking.

[@RallyReady]

Pics or GTFO.

[@TripSkyWalker]

@@RallyReady I don't want to get you to excited now. Plus KZbin would definitely ban me.

[@richeyrich2203]

Comment for the algorithm Hey, I say episode one with this car where you did the suspension and wheels… but you guys didn’t post an episode two where you talked about the tuning and other things you did to it.. what’s up?

[@Jev435]

Where's part two bro?

[@adamjensen8112]

Where is episode 2?

[@rileymdm4984]

Nice

[@willyrras]

Me encantaría hubiese en España o poder escucharlo en castellano

[@ethanvlaskampracing9603]

Can I get a part number for those brakes?

[@LowesHoe]

Lol I see what you did at 1:10

[@rikomanaro]

How to disable brake booster on an STi?

[@RallyReady]

Take it off the booster. Put a bolt in the vacuum hose and a cap on the booster. Ta daa.

[@ole-martinlundefaret5876]

Have to clarify something here (I am a rally coach, have worked in the WRC), this is NOT left foot braking, this is braking with the left foot. Whats the difference? Well, Left Foot Braking is when you use the brakes and the throttle at the same time to create grip/shift weight of the car. Its a good way to prepare for proper Left Foot Braking, as you need to build up sensitivity in the left foot, but still, yoy will not be all the way there :)

[@LegalizeTheft]

If you just watched to the 12min mark, you would’ve realized that the first part was just to familiarize with the concept of braking with your left foot…

[@G4Disco]

I almost ate the steering wheel the first time I tried left foot braking. No, left foot it's not a clutch.

[@tylera733]

I was thinking that's exactly what i would do too.

[@RallyReady]

Dude EVERY time. It's so tricky to learn on your own. Our team crushes at making quick work of it, though. Come hang with us!

[@wayde187]

@@RallyReady how extensive is your school? I need to get into rally while I still have good reflexes lol.

[@RallyReady]

@@wayde187 You name it, we cover it. We're currently competing in the ARA championship and apply all of the same techniques to your class. Shoot us an email and we can walk you through a more extensive curriculum breakdown and discuss private training options for any gaps you'd want to cover.
