[s-cars] heel-toe driving

[Ian Duff]

My old S4tt allowed LFB if one applied the gas AFTER the brakes had been
applied. If you were accelerating, like thru a corner, and wanted to LFB,
you had to momentarily get off the gas, get on and stay on the brakes, then
get back on the gas. Made for a jerky moment, but it was possible to "fool"
the foolish confuser. Not sure it made much sense, as my understanding of
LFB is to settle the car about its roll center, and this most assuredly just
upset it, not settled it.

Yes teddy exactly.  The new computers (including some self proclaimed "pro
racers" S4tt) won't allow simultaneous application of brake and throttle in
driving, I timed this with another instructor last year, it's pretty much
exactly 3seconds, then the throttle is deleted from your mix.  This would
adversely affect H&T and LFB techniques greatly, as in, no discussion
necessary.
