Clutchless Atom
Posted: Wed Aug 02, 2017 11:30 am
Hi all,
I have an unusual question about clutch management. Due to a disability, I'm not able to use the left foot for the clutch pedal.
My question is: what are the possibilities for alternative use of the gearbox/clutch system in order to avoid using the left foot.
I currently race with a Fun Cup that has a sequential gearbox + added click'n go system (basically the clutch pedal can be actuated by pulling it down via a cable and an electric motor). This works fine since upshifting is done without clutch use and for downshifting I depress the clutch via the Click'n Go system to reduce strain on the gearbox.
I've yet to purchase an Atom but I wanted to know what models offer the best chances of upgrading to sequential (since sequential requires less clutch action) or if any other model/gearbox would help my case.
Also, how "hard" is the clutch pedal on the atoms compared to standard road cars? The click'n go system for example has a limit pulling force/travel that I need to consider.
Thanks a lot.
