Check out the shifter on the first video. Steering wheel paddles that I can't see or an automated system?

Those Gear Changes Freaked me out!!

 

That's like the most mechanical sounding video / car I've heard.

 

wow, an automated sequential. never seen one before.

 

Impressively realistic video game!

 

she is like a jedi. she uses the force and the car shifts automatically!

 

Looks similar to the system used on WRC cars, with a paddle on the wheel actuating the sequential electronically.

 

That is a great find Nizer! Love the race footage vs. the typical single car Nurburgring hot lap, including seeing the new V8-engined BMW Z4 GT3 in action. You can also clearly see how difficult it is to overtake on the original Nurburgring race circuit vs. the much wider GP circuit used for F1 and other racing.

 

It is a telekinetic shifter and I invented it. You just put this little sensor into your helmet and It will shift to whatever gear you think about. It works on all manual transmitions, automatics, as well as sequential shifters. It is wireless and comes with a 20 year lithium ion battery. If you would like one just send
$1,000.00 to my account in the Cayman Islands and I can overnight it to you in one day. Hurry up with those checks because this is a limited time offer only!!

 

Ah yes. New vaporware. Check is in the mail. Better go stand next to your mailbox and wait for it. BTW, I believe commercial solicitation, real or fictitious, is verbotin on the forum...

Wow, I can even see that sequential shifter moved up and down by itself!

Wickedly cool.

 

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. The WRC cars have been using these for a bit on the top teams gives the drivers different ways in handling the cars.

 

that is crazy the amount of different cars on the track at the same time.

here is another video of paddle shifters on a RSR.

That whole series of RSR videos are marvelous. The production quality is very good, the HD video and the quality of the material (the cars!) is brilliant!

and numerous others!

I just want to take my 911 to the track. Right now!

Why doesn't Laguna run under lights at night? -- that would really send a message to those noise **** neighbors.
