I have no problem at all using my size 10 shoes with the right side of my foot on the gas pedal and the left side on the brakes. Each car I get in I have to slightly adjust my technique though.
Once you get it down it WILL make you faster if you're on a course where you have to shift. With autoxing many times you upshift to 2nd and keep it there. In that case I just left foot brake. |
