[CMC #37]

I learned how to left foot brake driving my auto 4th gen TA. Much, much more fun! This is the way I drive all autos now, left foot brake only, right foot only gas. I picked up a lot of speed on the road courses once I incorporated that technique there, called "trail braking." Braking going into a turn with your foot on the gas, whoo hoo! You can't do this on all the turns, but a good many, and more than you think!

Sometimes after driving the auto when I go out on track with the CMC car and the T-56 I hit the brake instead of the clutch. I have never hit the clutch mistaking it for the brake though with my left foot. Different cars may have different positionings though that you are not used to, this is the reason I don't go nuts when driving someone else's car.
