with MikeF.
Steve,
The wheel mounted shifters are not very well designed. One usually needs to downshift when coming into or out of a turn, this is nearly impossible while turning the wheel. Your hands are busy and you can't even stop the motion of turning the wheel for a split second to flick a gear without it putting yourself in danger...the whole thing feels very awkward and is useless in any situation requireing more manuverability than switching highway lanes.
I think supercars have the paddles suspended behind but independed of the steeringwheel. That makes a bit more sense. If you loosen your grip to allow the wheel to return you can always flick the stationary paddle.
I would have prefered the slap shift gate over the cool factor of paddles...
