Came across a server where only H-shifter and manual clutch control method are allowed, along with forced in-car view and correct wheel rotation. Like a lot of people, I have an H-shifter but rarely use it as I'm much slower with it and it feels like a penalty. At least it's a level playing field on this server.

They're running UF1 this week in a public server which has been fun. It's changing to private later where you need to sign up, and includes a longer race on Wednesdays

I've signed up, not especially for the longer races, but so I can enjoy using my gear shifter occassionally while still being vaguely competative

Sounds interesting, I'll check it out soon.
THX for the info:-)
