Left-Foot Braking
Using the left foot for the brake pedal instead of the right, freeing the right foot to stay on the throttle. Common in rally, karting, and modern F1. In sim racing, left-foot braking lets you trail brake while rolling on throttle, which is effective in FWD and AWD cars but takes weeks of practice to feel natural.
