Nearly always, except at times when driving my manual VW.
It gives you a much quicker reaction time, especially in dense traffic. Plus it is good muscle memory for karting.
Rowing gears and braking in a 73 VW bus was pretty funny. Really tall shifter that went down to floor and 2nd was not really available. Good times, but deffo not left foot braking.

Brake pedals are too far to the right in regular cars to make it enjoyable to left foot brake.
Also there is a risk that you drag the brakes by accident since there is not a proper way to “rest” your left foot over the brake pedal.
There was an interesting report about Michael Schumacher (left foot braking) and Rubens Barichello (right foot braking). There was a little advantage in laptime for Michael since he left foot brake but obviously Rubens did very well in his racing career, too.
Yeah, that’s the case with my car. I did have a test drive in an Alfa 4C once, the brake pedal in that was spot on, I went straight into kart mode with that. The brake pedal was solid too, almost zero travel.
