Message	If you are capable of learning it. It feels damn good under precise execution. I now can not feel right driving a course without excersing the skill, although I have gotten a bit lazy during autox; I should use it there if I am really going for time..... But in autox, I'm there to screw around, not violate my car too hard. I haven't really worked on left foot braking lately, but one thing is for sure, if you are good at either, you are much more effective with car dynamics. What I like about heel toe is the additional stability and powerband you can exploit. That, imho, makes it better than left foot braking, especially if you can make it undetectable in terms of smoothness and time/proximal overlap.
