#512

NEW for 2024: Foot cam showing the closest thing to legal cheating in motorsports. Left foot braking is an OP skill in a racer's toolbox that unlocks speed of transitions and provides options for dynamically balancing the car. While it takes years to harness effectively, it can provide a competitive advantage over traditional braking. Given my car's (limited) stopwatch potential compared to modern machinery, i need every advantage i can get (preferably without spending money!).
Do you do the pedal dance, the three pedal tango? Let me know in the comments!
