Effectively, 'flappy paddles' for karts: click a switch and it changes gear.

As we don't use the clutch to change gear anyway, it's hard to see how it would help: it won't be hugely faster to change gear that we can now.

For those who don't know, the process is:-

1) hit peak revs,
2) lift the throttle
3) move the gear lever and hold it in position until....
4) full power on the throttle again.

1 to 4 happen in about .3 to .5 of a second anyway.
