just wondering

does the f1 come in an automatic?

the reason i was wondering was, i know the drivers seat is in the middle, so linkage options would be limitied, i guess.

The F1 uses a bowden cable linkage.

What are bowden cables you ask?

Invented by Frank Bowden, a bowden cable is a type of flexible cable used to transmit mechanical force or energy by the movement of an inner cable (most commonly of steel) relative to a hollow outer cable, generally a spiral steel wire with a plastic outer sheath.

The linear movement of the inner cable is generally used to transmit a pulling force, although for very light applications over shorter distances a push may also be used.

There was only one transmission for the F1 road cars and they were all manual with no paddle actuation available. Later the longtail GTRs used a sequential manual setup developed by Xtrac that appears to use a mechanical rod linkage.
