Shifting Shootout - Heel Toe Vs. Paddle Shifters

Recently at The Simpit we have reviewed both the Fanatec Clubsport Shifter SQ and also the Thrustmaster TH8A. In each of those reviews we talk about how a shifter will add to your driving experience, but it might actually make you slower. There is a reason that modern race cars use paddle shifters.

In this video we put the topic to a challenge of testing all of the different shifting methods that one can use in sim racing. This means putting paddle shifters against using a sequential shifter, an H-Pattern shifter and then final again a H pattern shifter while using the Heel and Toe method of shifting.

After completing multiple laps with each shifting method we take a look at the lap times and compare how each method performed. Shaun also takes the time to really talk about the differences as a driver, and the added demands of heel toe shifting vs. the others.

During testing Shaun used a setup that is now being shared at The Simpit. You can download this setup and see how you did against our lap times with various shifting methods. Please post your lap times for comparison for all to know at The Simpit.
