Foot cam is great. For those of us without an OBD port I’ve always been jealous of those with throttle and brake traces. I also didn’t know that you used left foot braking! I am pretty used to doing that on the sim but have yet to try it out in my Miata.
Thanks. Unfortunately, I'm still working on looking far enough ahead (like you) and I felt like I was slightly behind the course for the first 3/4 of the run. I also left too much distance to the cones in some areas as I was expecting more grip but tire heat build up was not to be found here. I actually flattened out the rake of the car by lowering the rear some. This is a major change to balance as I'm looking for better high speed stability. This in turn changes what level of camber is necessary at the rear so I noted and pay attention to wear and temps and found I have too much neg camber in the back. All the data I needed was acquired. Changes can now be made before the first points event with SCCA.
I used to drive CDL Class B trucks in downtown Wash D.C. I had to learn to be very quick when transition to the brakes due to traffic and unaware drivers. I started then just using my left foot to brake to reduce my reactions and cross over time from gas to brake. Doing lighter more causal left foot braking with an automatic vehicle on the street I found helped build up confidence.
I am very envious of the foot cam! I might buy an akaso solely for footwork.
Worth while investment IMO!

Left foot unless I need to grab the clutch!
LFB is an OP skill once you're good at it.
Nice foot cam.
Thanks
Very nice! Way to attack; really liked your line to the finish through the last offset! What type of alignment changes?

Great video

Nice left for braking. Tried it and failed miserably and haven't gone back.
