Patrick Long made mention of the fact that they are using paddle shifters in the car that they will be running at Sebring. Does anyone have any information on this?

I tried a Google search and found nothing useful. I know that some German tuners were using paddle shifters at the Ring last year.

I wonder if this is a Porsche product as the Flying Lizards is the de facto factory supported team in North America.

The RSR is a racing sequential gearbox.
■Porsche six-speed gearbox with sequential jaw-type shift
■oil/water heat exchanger
■single-mass flywheel
■hydraulic disengagement lever
■three-plate carbon-fibre clutch
■limited slip differential 45/65 percent
■rear wheel drive

Somehow I just don't like the idea of Porsche racing with a paddle shift even though the new generation are clearly a superior device for changing gears. Leave it for F1 and keep Porsches for real racing!

Considering that the RSR gearbox is derived directly from the RS Spyder, adapting paddleshift to a GT2 car should be pretty straightfoward.

I'd heard a rumor of electronic blippers in the 2012 Cups and paddles in the 2013s. No suggestion of PDK as part of the paddle discussion.
Can't recall the source and I wouldn't put much stock in anything I heard related to Cups.

GT3 R has ABS, Traction control and auto blip. Dunno about paddles though. I think it is the sequential box with an electronic blipper for downshifts.
