Where have train drivers gone?

[JAM]

In Sweden's PWRC review, Andreas Aigner said that GpN cars have standard gearboxes, is it true? I haven't seen the footwork of GpN drivers but do they use clutch when downshifting?

No, since 2004 or 2005 Grp N cars can use geaboxes that don't require clutch to gear change. They cant' use sequential gearboxes.
