Whats up with the paddle shifter???

if you are referring to the size and location its prob because thats a quick release racing wheel... i dont think thats the stock wheel....

if your asking why does it have paddle shifters... well i dont really want to have to answer that for ya

i know its a quick release, and I know its the factory paddles, but you would think a race team would modify that system or use a different system that was designed better.

our paddles are part of our quick release wheel so it turns with the wheel and comes off with the wheel. the paddles are always a fingertip away. its totally different cars but same principles apply.

That first video...I kept spacing out...and then every time I came back, he was behind a different car.

What
the
fuck

I'd be interested to see a run off. Skeen vs. Keen.

I think Leh would own face.

Yeah that'd be a blowout.

I agree about the paddles as well that's kind of weird.

Skeen is the man, he should've won Set Up and you could tell they were trying to keep in him in the back and give him all the disadvantages during the season. He was one of the first people to ever take me for a ride in a fast car on a track, and we worked together at Xtreme Measures for a few years. I think I was 15 and he was around 18 years old when a ride in a blown M3 probably changed my life even more so. I knew he'd go places, my dad even road with him and was just in shock at how incredibly fast he was. I hope he has more great success to come
