Is the 2012 RSR pdk? or is PDK an option alongside sequential for 2012RSR??? I wonder what the new lizard car and the falken car has, every shot of race coverage I see the porsches have pdk.

The cups are still sequential tho


I hear you guys about the coverage, its hard to handle

There are no PDK in this race. Non of the race cars are dual clutch. They all have dog boxes, with multi-disc single clutch system. If they have paddles, they usually are pneumatic. At least on the Porsche and Ferrari they work that way.
Interesting thing is that the F458 race cars use a Bosch ECU instead of the previous Magnetti Marelli system.

You sure about that? They ran the RSR gearbox at Daytona and I suspect that's what's in this car too...

Concur, the sharing of the coverage is terrible. One huge step backwards. If I was sponsoring a car I would be furious with this broadcast arrangement.

NASCAR has saved the day because this year they have fuel injection and connect the cars to laptop computers. (cutting edge stuff for NASCAR that others have had for decades)

RSR is really working to stay competitive. Who knows what the future will bring, but it needs to come soon if they want more GT championships
