    Are you guys wearing driving sneakers/shoes?

    Clutch and brake are fairly close and I noticed my wide sneakers would rub when braking and clutching at same time. Nothing compared to my Maserati Spyder where I would actually catch the other pedal. So I got some Piloti sneakers and it's much better now.

    LOL...ever try to drive in heels????? My DH has a couple pairs of driving shoes...makes life easier with the closeness of the pedals...although the R8's aren't bad compared to some we have had. I usually kick off my shoes and rather drive barefoot!

    I like my Oakley driving shoes. They have nice pedal feel. Harrison and I noticed quite a few ALMS drivers were wearing them at Long Beach Grand Prix.
