I know trail braking definately works for me.
Trail braking != left foot braking. Although both techniques benefit from each other.

Left foot braking is simply using your left foot to brake with so you can simultaniously apply throttle. Trail braking is braking during/after turn-in to a corner, and can be very difficult/risky (at least in real life) because it's very easy to ask for too much from the tires to have the car turn and brake at the same time... i.e. you go for a nice spin.

Here's a cool write-up on trail braking, though it doesn't really talk too much about how to do it: http://www.getfaster.com/Techtips/Physics23.html
