... non-synchro H-pattern 4-speed gearbox with no-clutch shifting and left-foot braking only. Takes some getting used to, but very quick shifting and braking-left foot/throttle-right foot allows a lot of control in balancing the car.
Very cool car, BTW!

Has a clutch but not necessary for up or down shifting. Necessary for getting rolling. It's so stiff that it would be impractical to use for shifting in my opinion. In my car the clutch is adjusted to be much higher than the brake and gas pedals so it functions as a side brace/guide for the left foot while it's over/on the brake.

And the car looks awesome in these pictures!
One questions tough...I dont have any doubth this is so much faster and more G force etc BUT how much higher is the fun-factor compared to a touring cars (ex the race-S) ?!

dumb question, but how did you get into racing that kind of car? Where did you get the car? Is it a kit or something?
