From my understaning in Champ cars the gear selection is purely sequential. So all that the drivers have to do is pull the gearstick towards them or push it away from them. I don't believe that they are required to use the clutch at all in the process. I think the reason for the set up that they use is that it forces drivers to take a hand off the steering wheel to change gears, so it is harder to do mid corner.
