Came here to say this. If you don't know how difficult left foot braking is then just give it a try at your next stop sign and make sure nobody is behind you cause you're more than likely going to kiss the windshield with your forehead 😂😂😂
@@MrWatercooled i don’t think it’s hard, i always drive like this even before i got a permit. Ppl always been telling me brake and pedal with ur right, the fuck is the left foot doing??? So i’ve always been left foot braking, you can do it so smooth you don’t even feel the jerk when coming to a full stop.
@@erickp.2046 the reason its hard is in a manual you have to use the left foot to apply the clutch, especially when braking, so you get used to pushing it to the floor. This makes it easy to accidentally stab the brakes full force rather than ease into them.
@@MrWatercooled I use left foot braking all the time at work on forklifts and yard trucks, but for some reason it's still difficult to do in the car going home.
I used to drive at an auto auction, I drove everything self taught myself how to. My biggest word of advice when your driving around and in a traffic situation it just comes naturally😂, "oh shit they stopping!" But you gotta keep the line moving
This is always satisfying and always makes me want to go watch the video of Senna testing the first gen NSX. I think there is footage of his feet being in boat shoes. Super Casual.
I don't know NUFFN about cars or how to properly handle a manual transmission like the car enthusiasts do. All I know is this was cleaner than an Irish river dance and as smooth as Michael Jackson😂
Pumping brakes to prepare them for the corner, snug up the pads in the calliper, clears water and debris, make sure they are tight. Lots more advantages in doing that.
It accounts for brake pad knock back. High vibration causes the brake pads to move away from the rotor causes a soft pedal and brake delay. So pumping the brakes before the corner moves the pads back in place. Where talking millimeters of movement but makes a big difference.@@haroon2972
Its also a common technique from drivers who have experienced brake failure of some kind so they're confident the brakes will work on the main application. But yeah its offen to set the pistons and pads into place as you can suffer "knock back" this would cause a long b Pedal on first press. So this prevents that Masterful foot work
People forget that racing is not just about who can turn the wheel better, footwork is just as if not more important when it comes to getting grip out of corners. Timing your gear shifts to engine break, rev matching for smoother gear shifts. Basically half of the steering comes from how good you can feel the grip of the car and control that grip with these 3 pedals. Racing is truly an artform. And sublime drivers, watching them drive is fascinating. The level of control while flirting with the track limits and going as fast as you can without hitting people or trees or the armco, it's immense talent. Talent to control a machine like no other!
Don't forget that most true race cars have no power steering and no power brakes. Im am referring to circuit racing not drag or drift. The brakes aren't as stiff as F1 brakes but they still aren't helped by a brake booster and there is no power steering pump. That's just extra weight they don't need. Footwork is the GOAT of racing techniques.
The quick tap of the brake before the braking zone to counter act Brake Pad knock back is what separates the men from the boys. Totally in tune with his car👍🏽
Lots of people clutch smoothly to avoid tirespin/drivetrain shock (downshift) here he isn't doing that. He's also most likely on ceramic breaks cuz he's warming them up before use which isn't common on work vans
1 time i was on the highway, about 20 min away from home and my clutch fell in. I had to drive home by revmatch shifting all the way. It wasn't as fun as this.
Yess. I practice everyday in my car while driving to and from work. And it just a hard practice. It is all about timing in different conditions. I can imagine a race car driver handeling all that car control is just hard
I was thinking if actual racing drivers actually switched feet like that too, I do that with my sim and it feels good since you can get on the throttle faster/reduce turbo lag by by spooling it just a little while still slowing down. Great to see something I just made up isn't a mistake but an adaptation made by actual talent as well.
He’s not spoiling anything here. He’s rev matching for the double downshift. Brake boosting mid corner is a great way to find out what a tree looks like up close. Life is not a video game.
@austincoombs3674 I was referring to switching the foot on the brake while still braking. Yes I know there was no gas applied. There was a "/" there since reducing turbo lag only applies to front wheel drive vehicles where you don't sacrifice total horizontal wheel grip by applying both at the same time. Still allows you to get on gas quicker if your left foot is on the brake pedal while you're still on it but planning to get on the accelerator immediately after. As if the heel toe was even the advanced technique here...
Lightly pumping the brakes before a corner isnt just about clearing debris or warming the brakes it also shifts weight to the front tires, increasing grip and stability for better control as they enter the turn. It’s a subtle but critical technique in F1
He's not braking with the tap-tap, he's making sure the pads are seated correctly before the braking zone. The right foot pressing down is him slowing and balancing the car. Read about pad knockback if you want to know more, it has nothing to do with heat or debris
I love driving manual but always felt weird using my left foot to brake, so I use my right foot most of the time. This left foot braking is impressive.
@@crismorgan6756I don’t think you understand what this video is about. He is using left foot breaking in a race car, not on the street. It’s not that hard. It should definitely not be used in the street though.
It’s actually not really hard but you can’t do it in all cars. Position of pedals sometimes way off and don’t accept gas right away. I tried it every car i had but bmw was the best in this situation
On normal roads is easy. Try to do it on a racetrack going as fast as you can, braking as late as possible and with some traffic around you. Not easy at all.
@@casualarrogance on track is even easier to be honest. At least here in Croatia when on track you really don’t care when on track while on road you have to watch not to kill someone. That’s just how i look at the things,you may have another opinion
@ Bro speeding on a track is another level, you can’t even imagine. It’s like walking (road) and sprinting (track). Nothing you do on the road can come close to that speed, g force, car limit and excitement. Go to Rijeka circuit with a sports car and you’ll understand.
With the heel and toe method, the purpose is to keep the RPM high so the driver can maintain peak power through each corner and achieve better lap times. Pumping the brake like that before the corner is to check whether the brakes are still working or not.
Left foot braking is so much harder than you might realize. The left foot is used to resting on the kick plate or cramming in the clutch. When your right foot is on throttle and left foot on brake, that left foot wants to brake so much harder. It’s way more sensitive of a pedal than we maybe realize.

That's what I used to like ESPN when they did nascar racing the inside camera's of drivers...but also the shifting and footwork when racing the road course's like Sonoma and Waktin Glenn.😊...now that was awesome...
I drive a manual and am just now finding this out wtf I feel like I’ve been missing out on so much potential fun with my car all these years lol. I never even knew rev matching was a thing but makes so much sense. I learned how to drive manual from my dad but he was never into fast driving or anything like that so he only taught me the basics. I’m about to start practicing and learn how to be this coordinated lol
The first two taps with the left foot were to get the pads closer to the rotors and provide a bit of pump up on the master cylinder in preparation for a late brake maneuver. I roadraced motorcycles, anytime the fronted would shake hard you always would check you brake lever before the next corner. The head shake would puss the brake pads bake away from the rotors, next time you pull the lever it will come back to the bar.
As a manual driver that left foot braking is phenomenal. Ive tried it a little bit before and its always all or nothing😂. This mans got that delicacy to it
Impressive transition, but there will always be a pressure variance with the transition. Can't say it's good or bad, this depends on what you see on the data and track condition. But shows slot of experience and confidence. 💪

The same thing happened to me when I tried my sister's automatic... 😂😂 My life came flashing before my eyes.
Did that the first day I drove an Auto. Had always driven manual before that. My work mate lost his coffee that day.
For auto drivers using the brake with your left foot is faster and could save you in a crash. Manual drivers can’t pbviously

I bet you are checking brake line before every braking
First they make you pee in bottles, now you have to heel toe to make delivery times? That's insane. Keep up the good work.
In fact, this is a video of your feet
This is how we drive in Romania
The jump to left foot braking to get on throttle for corner exit is a beautiful bit of footwork.
That heal downshift rev is a work of art!
Just love this! Miss driving manual car. Automatic transmission drivers would never know the adrenaline this brings😅
The first time you try to go through all gears will be memorable.
Is the same thing on a motorcycle 😂 super simple to do
Ever since i have learnt rev matching my drive ability has sky rocketed for my family comfort.
Heel toe is standard, left foot braking is next level!
I tried to brake in my clio sports 182 with my left foot, which I was cruising at 30 and only pressed gentle and bloody he'll did it stop haha 😄
Heel-toe rev matching is fun and satisfying as hell
The brake in the middle of straigth was beatiful!
Honestly how much control he had on the breaks with his left foot is even more impressive than the heel toe.

in a rwd shifting weight to the front decreases control and traction

Pumping the brakes to heat them up i guess?
It prevents/reduces brake pad knock back
To check if the brakes are working properly, as they can sometimes fade, posing a risk where the driver might have no brakes at all.
I thought it was to keep the rpm high?
