If you watch races from the UK and Australia you will see sequential
gear box shifting. The shifter is pushed forward or pulled back to change
gears. I believe some of those racing gear boxes do not require clutching
just a blip of the throttle is enough to change gears.
I once saw a magazine article that put a round plate on an American
4 speed with cams and slots to make it into a sequential type shifter. This
seemed too complicated to be race worthy but who knows.
Tom Patton probably has a short throw shifter set up. I don't believe
sequential gear boxes are allowed in GT2 but I'm not up on the rules for
that class.

In watching the You Tube video on Tom Patton's GT2 race at either Grattan or
Gingerman raceway, the speed of his shifts look like a sequential shifter.
Is there a quicker shifting alternative for road racing than using the
conventional clutch upshift / downshift?
