HERE ARE SOME TO START OFF WITH:-

MARCH 2008 - Australian Tom Drewer won the first 2 rounds of the IMSA Lites L2 Championship in Sebring, USA with the PS2 Paddle-Shift System.

MAY 2010 - Richard Spedding, Force 1600 Haybusa with Paddle-Shift PS2 and Auto-Blip Downshifter Harewood Hillclimb Record broken 3 times from 4 possible runs. Record now stands at 51.57 (previously 51.90).

Currently 10th with 7 points in the overall British Championship and leading both the Leaders Championship and Y Gelli Championship.

"The new paddleshift set-up is clearly helping me to achieve these records" commented Richard after his Harewood success.


(Have a look at the Reports Sports Extra feature for May 13 on www.autosport.com for more details about Richard).

AUGUST 2010 - Richard has now improved on the record at Harewood by achieving 51.34 at the beginning of this month.

END OF SEASON UPDATE FROM RICHARD - He achieved the Fastest Time by a Yorkshire resident for the season at Harewood along with the Biggest Improvement on a Class Record for the season.

Our congratulations go to Richard and we look forward to hearing about his further achievements in 2011.

2009 - DAN MICHL (Czechoslavakia) becomes FIA EUROPEAN HILL-CLIMB CUP Winner in Region 1.

August 2010 - DAN MICHL (Czechoslavakia) is currently leading (with 55 points) the 2010 FIA EUROPEAN HILL-CLIMB CUP in Regions 1 and 2 with his PS2 Paddle-Shift Gearshifting System.

Dan also leads the Czech Championship in class, group and category with 275 points.

NOVEMBER 2011 - DAN MICHL becomes the FIA EUROPEAN HILL-CLIMB CUP winner in Region 2 and INTERNATIONAL CZECH HILL-CLIMB CHAMPION in Category 1.

CLIVE CATT and Co-driver/Radical owner WILLIAM OLDERS took first place in the TED POWELL MEMORIAL RACE 2010 at Calabogie, Ontario, Canada recently using the Championship winning PS2 Paddle-Shift System. (See the picture below).

 

OCTOBER 2010 - John Weisberg wins both the IMSA Prototype Lites 2 Drivers' Championship and Teams' Championship (Berg Racing) in the USA with the latest Pro-Shift PS3 Paddle-Shift System.

John told us "I am happy to report that with the help of my Pro-Shift System we were able to win both Championships. Thank you so much for all of your help which allowed me to get the most out of the System".

2011 STARTS WITH FURTHER SUCCESSES FOR RICHARD SPEDDING - At the Harewood Speed Hill Climb Spring National Meeting on 17th April 2011 Richard achieved first place with the fastest time of 50.87 and the accolade of outright fastest 1600 single seater into the bargain. This was following his recent switch from the now discontinued vacuum Auo-Blip Downshifter to the latest Remote Cable option. Richard said the improvement in performance of the new Downshifter over the vacuum unit was "as noticeable as the difference between night and day".

14th & 15th MAY 2011 - At Prescott near Cheltenham Richard was up against the F1's and still fought his way into 8th place in the first runoff. In the second runoff he improved even further and achieved 5th despite the stiff opposition.

OCTOBER 2011 - A delighted Richard called us this morning to update us that he finished 10th overall in the British Hillclimb Championship. This is a huge achievement as Richard missed several of the rounds this year. We look forward to seeing what he can achieve in 2012!

2011 HORIBA D'ISIS STAGES RALLY - Following his recent PS3 installation Simon Mauger  put the System through its paces. Initially Simon and co-driver Keith Hounslow were 3-6 seconds a stage behind their rival John Indri but as Simon mastered the Gearshifter they became quickest in all the afternoon stages. They eventually finished a mere 10 seconds behind John with 3rd place over 1 1/2 minutes further behind. As an added result this meant they also won their class by over 2 minutes. Simon was full of praise for the PS3 and is looking forward to his next outing with it.

JUNE 2011 - race4Slovakia took 1st place in the open GT class at Assen using the latest PS3 Paddle-Shift System. They also took 3rd place on their first outing with the new System in the Britcar 4 Hour Endurance at Donington.

NOVEMBER 2011 - Champions Ken Knapton and Jason Miller became European F1 Sidecar Champions with their 'vintage' PS1 System. See the homepage News for more information.

Testimonials

Thank you for the quick and professional service you provided!

KUSHAL AGARWAL (India) 14 December 2011

They have done a great job with the Paddle-shift system and it worked flawlessly. The biggest advantage to the system is that it allowed me to concentrate more on driving the car more precisely.

CONOR DALY (Sebring, USA - Long Beach Indy Lights Winner) October 31 2011

It was great! The paddle shift makes the car easier to drive, and it worked perfectly.

TRISTAN VAUTIER (Sebring, USA - 2011 Star Mazda Champion) October 31 2011

The Systems are working great. We just ran the SCCA run offs. Lee (Alexander) sat on pole with the track record and the fastest lap turned at Road America for any SCCA class.

JEFF SHAFER (Las Vegas, USA) September 29 2011

The down shifting is quite amazing. We are delighted with the newly installed PS2 system and it's the first time we have run the car and managed to stay beyond practice all season. We would definitely recommend you and your system to anyone who comes our way.

JONATHAN GATES (UK) September 2 2011

We tried a pneumatic system initially but the results weren't very successful. The main problem was that the air canister wasn't sufficient. Because we're using a small-capacity, naturally aspirated engine without a lot of torque, we have to change gear a lot and sometimes there was a delay while we had to wait for the empty canister to be re-pressurised. It could be two seconds before the gearshift...

DICK KVETNANSKY (Slovakia) August 2011

The Pro-Shift system was installed in our car in a big rush and without us having had any previous experience of it. Mainly due to a total distrust of the previous pneumatic system we were not sure if the Pro-Shift would be fine but we were 100% positive that with the pneumatic system we would not finish our upcoming race at all. With only 6 laps to test the system we entered the car in its first...

DICK KVETNANSKY (Slovakia) May 23 2011

WOW WOW WOW!!!!! What a fabulous piece of kit. I ended up winning the race on my first ever time at Cadwell. What a fabulous circuit to race and even more enjoyable and fun to drive with the paddle-shift system. I would not have been so quick or felt in as much control of the car if I had to take my hands off the wheel. It was fault free, so perfect going up the gears and so smooth blipping when coming...

DAX WARD (UK) May 23 2011

Pro-Shift Paddles are the best paddles on the market by far.

AARON STEER (West Racecars - Australia) May 10 2011

Wow! what a weekend, this bit of kit is amazing, I shaved 1 second round Brands and that was in traffic, did a 46.4, it's the best investment I've ever made and what's more it made me enjoy driving more. The ability to keep the car more balanced through corners because I have both hands on the steering wheel and for the first time through clearway I could change gear without having to try and re...
