Paddle shift Steering Wheel for Semi-Automatic gearshift system
The steering wheel is for the shop RX7 racecar. We have setup the air shifted gear shift system with the main aim to be kinder to the Holinger sequential gearbox by achieving repeatable exact shifts by removing the driver from the actual shift process.
The paddle on the left is for downshifts & the right for upshifts. These send the shift requests to the Motec engine management where if conditions are correct the ignition is cut & upshift solenoid fired in a timed managed sequence or for downshifts the throttle is blipped, revs then limited to the right amount for the next lowest gear and the downshift solenoid fired - again all in a timed managed fashion.
The other red buttons are for the pit lane speed limiter and Motec dash display page functions.
