Enhancing Realism in Race 07 GT R2 Mod - Gear Shifting and Clutch Use

As I delve back into the world of racing with the Race 07 GT R2 mod, I've been experimenting with different techniques to enhance realism. One aspect that caught my attention was gear shifting and clutch use. In this article, I'll discuss my findings and share some insights on how to achieve a more realistic driving experience.

In any case, you don't need the clutch for most gears, except for first gear. This is because the cars featured in the mod have sequential gearboxes, similar to those used in real-life GT racing. In fact, some of these cars even employ power shift technology, which eliminates the need to cut gas when shifting gears.

I've also installed additional tracks, including the iconic Nordschleife, which offers a thrilling driving experience. But I digress - back to gear shifting and clutch use. Are these modifications worth adding to your game, and do they affect frame rates? As for me, I can attest that my game runs flawlessly with no FPS penalty, even at high graphics settings.

To achieve a more realistic experience, I've been engaging the clutch when changing gears, just like in real-life racing. However, I'm curious about adopting a patch or mod that would require the use of a clutch for shifting gears. This would involve using a realistic shifter and engaging the clutch to change up/down through the gearbox.

Interestingly, some cars in the game feature a gear stick image in the cockpit view, while others do not. Did these GT cars use flip shifters or traditional gearsticks? I'd like to know more about how this was simulated in real-life racing during the 2003/4 seasons, which are covered by the game.

So, should I mix and match different gear change methods to suit my driving style? In other words, can I use both flip gears and a shifter to achieve a realistic experience?

Lastly, I'd love to hear from fellow racers who have experience with this mod. Do you have any insights on how to enhance realism in Race 07 GT R2 Mod? Share your thoughts and let's discuss the best ways to achieve a more immersive racing experience.
