Beside sitting on the right side, the other difference in RHD car is the turn signals and wiper 'sticks' thingy; they are on the opposite side from LHD cars. The pedals and shift patterns are the same.

With all due respect, next time you have a "question", would you be kind enough to make the title a bit more descriptive, please?
There's got to hundreds of threads on this forum entitled "Question?"

Hey Asahi_9, that was a good question. I think we should have the same kind of shifters as they use in the race cars. That way we can shift from the steering wheel

BTW, I edited your title for you.
