Thomas, no one is trying to outlaw paddle shifters. I think that the intent of those who are opposed to the obvious direction of the assisted shift systems is to control the escalation of the...
Wait a minute Coop, are you saying that the assisted shifters are worth something in lap time?:)

PS: Hey guys I surrender. I will work on my mechanical system to make...
I am certain that we are not even close to the performance of the Geartronics shifter. We still are missing occaisional downshifts from 6th gear when going down a couple of gears. We are going to...
The big problem with mechanical shifter is the lack of stiffness of the entire system & friction. Use a TOP QUALITY low friction cable & VERY STIFF attachment brackets & you will not have a problem,...
I am certainly not against aided shifting in FB. What I am against is an unlimited rule that will allow a huge escallation in cost to race at the front. Do not think that it will not happen, it...
Richard's concept of a mechanical shifter with assisted throttle blipping of any type is a great idea IMHO. This would clearly prevent the potential eacalation in cost and complexity associated...
The issue in my mind is clarification. I have made my opinions known. If the rules are clarified such that the Geartronics & other assisted systems are allowed then so be it. If that happens then it...
This is a very tough situation, for all current competitors, potential future competitors & car builders in F1000.
I also think that a clarification of the rule is in order. Here is the actual...
