I was told by Chris Mason, Pingel shifters are the one of the best for a full push button up and down shift, he had one fitted to his car, a 2007 R1
Sprint R, and he also fitted them to other Sprint R single seaters for Roadrunner racing.
I had the flatshifter fitted to my Indy R zx10r/turbo, it was great for up shifts, and made a big difference, but it struggled to keep up with rapid
down shifts, and was not push button
Other options dynojet, and translogic.

Latest letter from bike engined race car customer( Spire sports cars) rec about 6 weeks ago using Flatshifter paddle operated gearshift and
Flatshifter Expert clutchless up & down quickshifter system .

Hi Graham
Just a couple of things,
Firstly i would like to say thanks for making such a brilliant product!! The Flatshifter Expert , Max and paddle system truly are wonderful piece`s of
equipment and makes driving the car an even better experience.
This year has been a pretty special year for us, I won the class and overall Bikesports Championship, lead apart of every race and won 4 outright. In
a championship that has been dominated pretty well by Radical in the last few years, this was our first year in Bikesports and we entered in the class
with the least Horse Power. we estimate our 1000cc honda Fireblade is around
60HP down on the big 1500cc Radical SR3 but we still managed to beat them on the road.
To top off our year we entered a team in the 750mc Birkett 6hr race. We lead the race on and off for 5 hrs until one of our cars was involved in an
accident which put us over a minute behind the leading Radical team for my last 30min stint. I passed the leading Radical on the last lap to win the
race outright. Unfortunately one of our other drivers incurred a 30sec
penalty for speeding in the pit lane which was added to our time which resulted in us being classified 2nd. (but we won really).
We also carried on our winning streak in the 750mc RGB championship with Matt Higginson winning the championship. The Spire's are now unbeaten
in 28 races in RGB with wins going to Tim (2012) and Matt Higginson, Alistair Boulton and John Cutmore all winning this year.
To top off our year of winning, both cars have been awarded the Best Prepared Car award in each championship.
We are currently well under way in our 2014 development and we are building a new car for Bikesports, it has become very apparent that we don't
really need a clutch pedal with your flatshifter system so we are going to build the new car with 2 pedals
Here are a few links to some videos of the car with your super systems working!

If you have anymore info on the clutch system id really appreciate it and maybe we can have a chat.
Kind Regards
Tim Gray (spire sports cars)

they look fantastic and the spire did very well last season. looks an excellent car. from looking at the championship final standings it seems lewis
plato only entered around 5 races in the sr3 and took 16 points in all but 1 race where he took 15 and jp ivey in the pr6 quite similar.
the spires have made great strides in the 750mc and tim gray must be one of,if not the best driver on the bikesports grid.he looks mighty impressive!

I looked at the Pingel and then bought a Flatshifter.
Graham at Flatshifter is very knowledgeable and provides great service.

Try a google search for xoomspeed ,these guys are the daddies for pneumatic closed loop systems. You can get a system set-up for virtually the same
costs as an electronic/ timed gear change system,there system can also have a downshift based on engine revs so you don't buzz the engine when
going down the box as it won't allow you to. They can supply all the parts and solenoids, there worth a call.
