Message	drivers will have different preferences. Look at Michael Schumacker for example. He left foot brakes (granted there is no need for a clutch in F1), while Rubens Barrichello still prefers to lift and brake with the same foot. Michael likes trail braking, while Rubens prefers straight braking then turning. My point is when you get comfortable (hopefully perfect) any technique, that's what you'll stick with. Some prefer left foot braking, others heel and toe, others clucthless shifting. You will find out what makes you a better and hopefully a faster driver around a race course. I for one LOVE all the techniques I listed, and find that it does help me a great deal with controlling my car. LEFT FOOT BRAKING is great mid corner if you got the corner wrong or correct understeer, heel and toeing to brake late and set the car for corner entry, etc... PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!!
