Thats not a gear shifter its a HOTAS setup for flying airplanes. it isnt used for car racing at all.

can you link to this fanatec device? i only see racing devices on their site and no flight stick devices. I recently purchases a HOTAS setup and did a ton of research before buying. I never once even heard fanatec mentioned in relation to any flight stick devices either present or past. if you are speaking in terms of car racing only then yes fanatec has it . but that thrustmaster device in this article is strictly for flight and not for cars at all. for someone on a budget its actually the best option as any other HOTAS setup costs upwards of 100+ while this thrustmaster setup in the article can be had anywhere from 20-50 on sale and 100 MSRP.
