For me it’s the RX cross car’s in iracing l would recommend the Ford RCX theses turbo charge cars are extremely good for using a shifter and the handbrake
 
Iracing RXC turbocharger extremely fast machine machine with sim-labs shifter & handbrake would be great Thanks for the chance
 
I would love to try the gearshift with the most of the wrc cars, first of all, '01 Focus WRC, my favourite rally car ever, also could be really fun to try the group A Impreza

Assetto Corsa with the Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT (RSS Lanzo V12).
Nothing feels like this with a sequential shifter. ;-)
Loads of fun.
 
Premium
that sequential would be perfect to make a beautiful Lister Storm scream brutally at the green hell
 
With any luck, a mean ol' Viper GTS-R in Project Motor Racing. In the meantime, the same wide array of fun sequential-shifting stuff to be found between modded AC, AMS2, DR2, WRC and rF2.
 
I love the 90's-00's GT cars from RSS in AC. So for me, the GTN FERRUCCIO 36 :)

Sure would be nice to NOT have to use my h-shifter as a Seq. when I drive GT1. It has a nice 3D printed piece that locks the gate and shortens the throw but it just doesnt feel convincing, never has. -For a sequential. Its a great h-shifter.

Cmon OT, make my dream of having a dedicated sequential shifter come true!:laugh:

To be honest, I can't think of a car I'd want to drive with a sequential gear shifter. Overtake.gg can make someone happy with it who wants one. In the meantime, I'm still really enjoying the Fanatec Formula v2.5 steering wheel with the Advanced Paddle Module. It far exceeds expectations. Thanks again for this.
 
For me it would be many, but if I had to pick one, it would easily be late 1990s supertourers (particularly BTCC). These bring back so many childhood memories.
 
I'd love to try it with the Alfa Romeo 155 ti V6 DTM of Alessandro Nannini, if I'm not mistaken he was the first in DTM to use a sequential shifter due to his hand injury.
 
I'm thinking of the F2 Kit Car class rally cars of the late 90s. Light, FWD with widened track, high revving 2 liter naturally aspirated engine and six speed sequential with a stick. Monsters on asphalt rallies, on a good day capable of beating the AWD WRC cars of the time. If I had to pick one, it would probably be the Peugeot 306 Maxi.
 
I really like old rear-wheel drive rally cars. The BMW E30 and the Ford Mk 2 are my favorites. I find them really cool on Rally Sim Fan RBR.
