It required vastly more skill to operate than the average modern driver has that's <em>for sure</em>. :) In addition to the pedals, the W25 had an unsynchronized transmission in which the gears are required to be spinning at the same rate otherwise they won’t mesh.

I wouldn't mind having a go at those old cars.

There were more missed gear changes there than "for sure"'s in a drivers press conference. Great sound, but sheese, has Lewis forgotten how to drive a manual?
