No I think it has something to do with reverse? I'm not entirely certain though. The e-brake is the smaller lever right behind it.

And it has paddle shifters. Look just behind the steering wheel in the video and you will see him pull it.

This site has made me dislike Ken Block, but this video wasn't too bad at all. I enjoyed watching it

Chi_San · 09-10-2009, 04:24 AM

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but there's a backup incase the paddle shifters fail, and that is the 'larger stick' that the drivers use to get into reverse. Not sure why they don't just use the paddles for Reverse.
