Do you track your car? I ask, because I have found braking is quite important, especially at the track. I am trail-braking in many turns, which is not impossible, but quite distracting in a MT!!

Oh, and don't tell me to use the gearbox for decelerating - wrong thing to do, and it has been for the past 20 years.

Now, if I grow another foot.............

Actually, I was joking. I don't track this car but I spent several years and far too much money, endurance racing motorcycles in the 80s. Lots of trail braking. Heel and toeing on a bike is much easier than in an MT car. It takes both hands and both feet and the lrft hand has to do 2 things while the right hand has to do 3 things at once, but, once you master it, it;s cake. Truth is I was 5 seconds a lap slower than our team hotshoe, but I could milk a set of dying tires and brake pads for quite a long time.
