And I can tell you it works way faster than any electronic semi-automated gearbox you can find in the market now... even the SMG  I guess that's the kind of gearboxes they're using in Japan then... |
Dani mate, please. Out of all people you should be the first to catch this.
None of the cars in JGTC come with sequential boxes. Hence any alteration to a gearbox voids the so called "rules" outlined by JGTC. Understand? NSX comes with an H pattern box, further alteration of that into a sequential box is a form of automation.
A sequential box is a form of a semi auto gearbox. Period. A fully manual gear chage involves clutching and decluching, that is not the case with JGTC. I dont even remember them lifting on upshifts. They most likely have like the case in some cars a cut ignition switch on the gear lever. Hence a form of automated gear change.
And lastly please show me any facts that he has outlined and where he has the upper hand in this argument. Really...Where are the facts that he has outlined.
