Is that what they normally have in real life? With so many gears the devs may want to revise the button bindings for manual gears so we can switch to the next range as needed. My manual shifter only has 7 gears. So with the current 12 gears what I do is switch to the paddle shifters on my wheel for 8th gear and up. It's OK, but there could be a better way, especially if they change it to 18.
