vice versa for braking as well. so while you re braking with your left hand, you can go down the gears with your right hand. the key thing about these controls is they re designed to be used by drivers with a range of impairments. these could be driven by someone with only the use of one arm, for example. aaron s team mate in this event is autistic and the car remains drivable by him in the usual way as the adaptations coexist alongside the regular controls. hand controls per se aren t new. i use them to drive my car. but these are quite different to what you might find on a road car as they re tuned for a racing environment. but a racing team is more than just the drivers, and building systems like this into already finely tuned machines isn t a straightforward process. and so you obviously work with different iterations of these controls. how does that process work and how did you get to where you are now? well, first of all, we start with looking at the drivers and seeing what their
you just pull this paddle here, and obviously, you know, there s various levels of throttle you can apply there. on the other side is the brake paddle which works in exactly the same way so you can modulate it. and then these grey buttons inside the steering wheel operate the gears. now, the way the car s set up, you have the up shift on the left side, so while you re on full throttle with your right hand, you ve then got your left hand to change the gears and then it s vice versa for braking as well. so while you re braking with your left hand, you can go down the gears with your right hand. the key thing about these controls is they are designed to be used by drivers with a range of impairments. these could be driven by someone with only the use of one arm, for example. aaron s teammate in this event is autistic and the car remains drivable by him in the usual way as the adaptations coexist alongside the regular controls. hand controls per se aren t new. i use them to drive my car. b
up with and it s by far the best in the world. the control s linked to a system of actuators and sophisticated electronic systems to drive the vehicles. aaron, can you just explain to me a little bit about how the hand controls work and how you use them to drive the car? yeah, of course. so, with the accelerator, you just pull this paddle here, and obviously, you know, there s various levels of throttle you can apply there. 0n the other side is the brake paddle which works in exactly the same way so you can modulate it. and then these grey buttons inside the steering wheel operate the gears. now, the way the car s set up, you have the up shift on the left side, so while you re on full throttle with your right hand, you ve then got your left hand to change the gears and then it s vice versa for braking as well. so while you re braking with your left hand, you can go down the gears with your right hand. the key thing about these controls is they are designed to be used by drivers with a
then have your left hand to change the gears and then it is vice versa for breaking as well. when you break with your left hand you can go down with your left hand you can go down with your left hand you can go down with your right hand. the with your left hand you can go down with your right hand. with your right hand. the key thing about these with your right hand. the key thing about these controls with your right hand. the key thing about these controls is with your right hand. the key thing about these controls is they - with your right hand. the key thing about these controls is they are . about these controls is they are designed to be used by drivers with a range of impairments. these could be driven by someone with only the use of one arm, for example. aaron s teammate in this example is autistic and the adaptations coexist alongside the regular controls. hand controls per se aren t new. i use them to drive my car, but these are quite different to what you might find on
