Good vid AB.

Can anyone explain why they occasionally blip the brake panel with their left foot?

They seem to do it on all the BM vids, and I'm sure it's not left foot braking, but don't understand it

I think it's to check the brakes are still working...or to feel the brake pedal is still there.

I have wondered this myself. The only conclusion I have drawn is to build up brake pressure to maximise consistency and feel when braking. Any left foot brakers wiil know that there is a change in pedal feel when on/off throttle.

Having watched the vid, now I know a tuned R34 can make mincemeat of Honda's finest

Not really a fair comparison really. A tuned NSX against a tuned R34 would be a lot more realistic. There's a video of just that somewhere - I'll try to locate it for you.
