Basic technique is the same with H-pattern box and these bike boxes,which they use in factory teams in wrc.The big difference is that in these secuental(bike,semi auto,what ever you want to call them) you can't skip gears.So while doing flick you also have to change gears down while braking and steering.This takes a lot of brain power away(this is one of biggest reasons why drivers stall engine all time,small flywheel does not help either)because you have to calculate which gear I am now. But perhaps the biggest diffence is that if you do agressive flick then where is danger,spinning 4wd car.To stop spinning you have to put full throttle on because then front wheels pull yout from spinning.But if this point you are canging gear down as you have to do in these laptop engineers's boxes.you do not have power available. In h-pattern it's dead easy.In typical rally you have to change from top gear to second 3 times a km. So in H-pattern you enter the corner with top gear concentrating lines,surface,brakes,steering and looking if any good looking girls around and then in the last moment change down straight to secong gear.Easy. What ever you win in up change(it's not much) you loose much more entering corners. Do I make any sense here?Quote:
