I use it in Karting exclusively, never in a 5spd.

LFB is pretty useful in rally to rotate the car quickly, also in AX with the auto trans Vette crowd. I don't see much use for it in a typical road course where most corners are 3rd or higher and throttle steer easily controls rotation. There is no significant "reaction time" issue because we know where our braking points are. Some turbo cars use it to slow for corners while staying in the gas to keep the turbos spooled up.

Smooth is fast and on a road course, LFB is notoriously un-smooth. What advantages are we missing?
