OK, I know this was discussed earlier, but I couldn't find the thread: Which way did the sequential shifters in -67 F1 cars work? Forward => up or forward => down. I am asking, because I have just purchased a Redline Racing Controller, which has a shift lever. Excellent controller BTW. The pedals are very good and it is also possible to use them with a force feedback wheel... Jari Jokinen
1967 F1 cars don't have sequential gearboxes. They had a normal stickshift. In modern race and rally car, push forward is downshift and pull backward is upshift. Rob.

Some of the BTCC Super Touring cars had a vertical shift lever mounted on the steering coloum. Push it up towards the roof for upshifts, down for downshifts...fyi dave henrie "Jari Jokinen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:92n129$qqi$[email hidden]... > Thanks. > > Rob. wrote in message ... > >1967 F1 cars don't have sequential gearboxes.
