  • Henry Catchpole adores a manual gearbox but that doesn't mean there's no place for the paddle shift, and the F8 Tributro proves just that. Subscribe for part 3 of Ferrari Fortnight featuring the Portofino M.

    Paddle shifters clicked with me when I spent a day at the Jonathan Palmer motorsport day.
    Quite a few of the track cars had paddle shifters and on track they worked so well and with my years of motorbike experience I took to the sequential nature immediately.

      I'd heard a variation on that story: that Gilles had found the gearbox too easy to use. He felt it eroded the skill of driving and, if everybody had it, it would have reduced the advantage his skills gave him over his other competitors.

    • @pistonburner6448
      @pistonburner6448 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      More like tragic.
      None of the SHIFT PADDLES I've used have ever been flappy. If they'd be flappy then they'd be impossible to operate or something would be broken. That word describes them so poorly overall, I've never thought of my shift work or the functioning of an electro-hydraulically or electrically (?) actuated manual gearbox to be anything like "flappy".
      They are shift paddles. And the gearbox system is semi-automatic, or automated manual, or nowadays double clutch. Could be actuated by buttons, and most non-gearheads don't even shift themselves but just leave in on automatic, so the paddles themselves don't describe the gearbox itself.

    If you want the engagement of playing with your drivetrain and engine get a manual. If you care most of all about getting your car to perfectly enter and exit the corner it is so much more fun to drive a paddle shift for all the reasons Henry mentioned. For how fast even slower cars are a manual is simply far too slow. The ability to do a flurry of downshifts while left foot braking and with the car loaded perfectly entering a corner is a conpeltey unique and incredible experience. Also with modern manuals stupid long gears it is more rewarding to accelerate with tightly spaced automatic gears.
