Testdrive Lotus Exige 6-Speed Seq-Gearbox (Jubu Racing)

Testdrive on the Slovakiaring racetrack in Slovakia, Summer 2010.
Car is a Lotus Exige 1,8Litre, around 280HP, Drexler LSD, Yokohama A048 Tires, Temperature around 20 degrees.

Due to the fact that the installation of the gearbox took time until the night before this testday, we couldn´t correct the push/pull mismatch. So I had to think about very carefully when switching gears :-). But hey the guys at Jubu-Racing did a great job to make this happen!

Conclusion: I am very satisfied with the gearbox, always used the clutch when switching gears (up and down). Noise also wasn´t that terrible I´d expected either...

@misegades - makes perfect sense to me, up for upshift, down for downshift, almost like how you would have it on a stock motorcycle.  I like it!

Must be awkward working against the g's on those shifts.

[misegades]

Push forward for upshift, back for downshift? That's backwards o.O

great fun. but would be nice to see the how paddle shifts are compatible, it looks like that its not very convenient position of the leaver.. great and expensive stuff anyways.
