ETCC shifting question

Do the real ETCC cars use steering wheel paddles or traditional floor-mounted gear shifters for their sequential boxes?

Thanks, but that info. doesn't actually answer my question. I'll assume since some of the cars are still using an H-pattern that all are floor-mounted, including the sequentials. It did tell me that they are not all sequential, which surprises me.

I also have made the assumption that they are all floor shift. It is interesting to note the Hewland 6-speed, sequential shift is the same used on the Lister Storm. The Cart Lola also uses it and that shifter is floor mounted or at any rate wall mounted lol. "Marc Collins" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:2Zgqb.6344$[email hidden]...

ETCC cars aren't really BTCC spec Super Tourers, but all the incar shots that I can dredge up in my memory of the BTCC cars had some sort of sequential shift lever. Some of the Shifters were quite large, and some rather dainty, but they all worked off the floorpan or a riser attached to the floor. I only saw a few ETCC races last year so I can't remember if the ETCC cars used the same layouts...I would suspect them to be similiar, due to the virtually same formula being used for each series..(2.0litre) Super Touring cars. I'm also guessing that the current generation of both BTCC and ETCC cars have a lower horsepower rating. Perhaps it's time for ol dave to visit Nigel's red shoes web site again. dave henrie
