And being on the subject of fast shifts you would think that in F1 they want to achieve the fastestest shifts no? Well tell me one time when you dont hear the throttle lifting when they upshift |
In the FIA morgan its a dog box, so you lift as you change gear, without use of the clutch (on the way up). And yes most have software that 'lifts' for them, but this is all integrated into what are pretty much automated sequential boxes (or are in the porsche GT3 RSR's i have seen).
And how are you gunna hear if the throttle is lifted in an F1 car!? They: 1. have such low mass flywheels/clutch etc that you wouldnt hear wether there was a lift, or that was the engine just being slowed to the speed relevent to the new rato.
2. Are pretty much a completely different ball game compared to the normal shifting debate we are having here.
All i am saying is that shift 'speed' is surely just the amount of time that the clutch is disengaged juring the shift, which is mutually exclusive from wether the shift is being done with the throttle flat or with a lift!?!
And yes flat shifting is detrimental to the longevity of the vehicles drivetrain, but u have to admit it increases the acceleration of the vehicle!?!?!
