Looks good Sarah, 2014 season should be fantastic.

I'm not keen on the car but it is much better looking than the road going one.

No doubt the championship will be good tho, always has been really.

Had a look through the prices and specs of the new cars the other week interesting that the paddles are an option as I imagine it makes the car quicker on a full lap as it will blip the down changes etc.

I guess it depends on the trans mate, some sequentuals do auto blip on bar shift as well.

Sadev box has to be better than paddles.

F1 cars use paddles, so I don't think so.

Paddleshift in Motorsport applications still uses a sequential box but then adds extra sensors, an extra ECU and some clever mapping which controls the gear cut and controls throttle openings to provide a really quick up and down shift with perfect rev matching. No clutch needed on either the up or down change just needed to get off the line and stop

I've never liked them in the wet tho.

Can't say I've ever tried a car with in the wet only ever driven a couple and was dry. What's the difference? I know they are sometimes not ideal on gravel due to the wheel spin so I guess a similar issue in the wet?
