Anyone else watching the R10's in the ALMS races on SPEED? (Tip content, 6spd intolerant)

Did you notice the driver cam pics of the steering wheel ? You may have noticed while the driver had both hands on the wheel changing gears in the center display it showed the selected gear.

I want that gear change display with my paddles !

But wait, how can this be ? Wasn't there some <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2605764.phtml">ignorant folk</a> saying no one races anything but 6spd sticks ?

its not like the SMG though, if the DSG was like the SMG, that would be cool.

Default I would also like that gear change display with my paddles.

And, while you're at it, could you toss in a V12 TDI, please?

Default Ok how about some of the replies here get a little *less* stoopid - ok? The points were :

The points were :
- Both hands on the wheel is better
- Heads up gear display is cool
- Race car != must be a stick

Don't bother posting replies here telling me the race car is an SMG (duh !) and not a TIP. I wasn't saying it was a Tip and I'm not t concerned if it was Tip, SMG, DSG or LSD

Pull your head out !

Dude - are you paying attention? Race car != must be a stick. Both hands on wheel is cool. Get it?
