I build steering/pedal units which has a analog clutch as
standard. Check out at

Remember prices are in New Zealand dollars.

ECCI also offers a clutch pedal as a modular add on component to the
standard CDS4000 product. This is because in sim-racing the clutch is
not very useful... it only has a beneficial effect at race starts. Lap
times are better if you use a 'semi-automatic' shift approach (as in F1)
during the rest of the race. ECCI offers high quality paddle shif
maechanisms for this reason.

Someone mentioned that GPL can use the clutch but it's either "on or
off" like a button and you can't slip the clutch. I don't know where
he got his info but I can floor it in forth gear at a standing start and
modulate the RPMs with the clutch to pick up speed. another words, It is
"analog", not "just on or off".

Agreed. The clutch in GPL is not "on" "off". I too can "spin"
the clutch and modulate the RPM in this manner, but, bare in
mind we are dealing with a racing strength clutch in GPL and
therefore it is harsher than a family sedan street car.
A clutch in GPL is useful for starting starts and skid
control. During the actual race I don't use it.
In Viper Racing with the clutch set to manual the gears won't
shift unless the clutch has been pushed in.

If you just shunt it into first gear when the flag drops, with most cars
the revs drop to almost nothing and you then have to wait for it to pick
up speed again.
With an analogue clutch, you floor the throttle and half-release the
clutch, and the engine revs stay high, giving you much more power away
from the line.
The hard part is then to release the clutch in just the right way to
keep the power down but without the wheels spinning.
If you get it right it really does work - in one online race at Kyalami
I started on the second row and squeezed right between the two front row
cars to take the lead!
