Partially. Even though I am normally not driving at 10/10's, I still do this for several reasons.
1. It's the faster way around the track
2. Smoother transition, more controlled transfer
3. Carrying more speed into the turn, slowing to the same speed for turn-in, but getting on the power sooner
4. Practice.. practice...practice
You will brake a little later than using the 'one foot' method, but your turning speed is not really any faster. Yea, some but not significant.
As you know this ‘braking a little later’ is relative. Maybe 5-10 feet. If that.
This allows you to be smoother, which results in being faster. I am still a believer in slow in, fast out, but my corner entrance speeds are only about 3mph faster but my exit speeds are now 5-6mph faster
Still learning left foot braking. I find left foot braking in the MC much harder than other cars due to peddle placement.
