Thread: How to: shift in RACE?

Hi I am curious how you people shift in the game.
I am using the sequential shifter on my g25.
but I am thinking its a lot slower as the flippers.
tell me youre opinion.

Use the 'flippers.' If anyone says the stick shifter is faster I will personally kiss you.

I use the flippers behind my G25. But the last days i want more realism and i shift with the sequential gearbox and i am not slower at all. The downshifting feels more natural with the sequential stick! (better rythem, i know it sounds weird but it feels better)
To i dont know the answer: pick what you like i guess

Offtopic: i drove a guy in GTR2 on the Nordschleife, a real Ring specialist and he drove the G25 with sequential gears and the clutch. He did awesome heel-and-toe technics and drove the tracks as fast as i never so anybody do it before him! Really awesome to hear him shift down before the corners

LOL there,s a dutch guy from the forum techzine hee is also lightningfast 6.34.502 with a G2 klasse corvette (tourist version)
I think seq shift is more fun.

I personally use the paddles as well, for me this is the fastest way of shifting, plus i do not need to release the wheel in the meantime, so gives more control for me over the car.

But i think it is question of preference and practise.
Only the H-shfiter is slower for sure, the sequential one can be just as fast as the paddles i believe.

Here I am using the H shifter because the RL car I am going to race (not yet) has an h shifter.

Let me tell you, heel and toe ing is a pain.

Hmmm! Intersesting topic. I have used the G25 sequential shifter from the start in RACE as it felt more realistic to me. I have recently been trying the paddles, and even though it seems quicker, my lap times haven't improved at all, in fact maybe a whisker slower. Probably comes down to practice, but I doubt there is much difference once you get used to them.
I'm definitely slower with the H shifter, but its great for fun racing or off line.

I'm practicing the h shifter obsessively but i probably should go to sequential until I get my times down...

what do you think?

I think it's much more important to get familiar with the car's handling and the correct lines for the track. You don't need the added difficulty of the H shifter set up as well. Because the racing is so close, you'll find that smoothness and correct lines are critical.
My 2 cents worth.

switched to sequential for the time being... my times became consistent. I'll practice my h shifting on the LFS demo's slower car instead.
