Hey thanks, that did the trick smile

As I am a noob to this and have some difficulties with cooridination (multiple scleriosis) do you guys drive with 2 feet on the pedals or just one? That is a cool track BTW. Fun cars too.

Pretty sure the better drivers here drive with both feet, however I'm not one of them. I do origami with my left foot when I race. :Þ

I'm not sure I'd be considered one of the "better" drivers, but maybe... Anyway, I only use one foot FWIW

You gotta do two feet if you wanna be really fast in the faster cars I think anyway. I also have problems with coordination (dyspraxia), but one foot should be fine in the slower cars.

Well if you wanna be realistic then you use your left foot for the clutch only (if auto clutch is off) and your right foot for accelerate and brake.

Only with the F1 mods do I left foot brake as that's what they do in real life as the clutch is operated by hand.

Good tri-split screen showing everything working away.

For front-wheel-drive cars use the left foot for clutch and braking to balance the car.

I always shift true to life. So in the 911's Meganes etc I will flat upshift, clutch and HnT (right foot brake) on the downs.

Then in the F1's I will left foot brake.

But there are no rules as such. When I HnT I will also left foot brake on the corners where I dont need to downshift which balances the car.

You think? (I'm not arguing - just asking) IRL I've never found much use for left foot braking - I find a minute lift is just as good and more precise (but I drive cars/set cars up so that are very biased toward trailing throttle oversteer).
