It requires a pull on both shifter paddles. Bit tricky to do, I imagine, if you're deep in a hairpin with too much understeer and need to flick both paddles :-/

pdk is a twin clutch operated box

"PDK is essentially two gearboxes in one, thus requiring two clutches. This doubleclutch transmission provides an alternating, non-positive connection between the two half gearboxes and the engine by means of two separate input shafts. The flow of power from the engine is transmitted through one half gearbox and one clutch at a time, while the next gear is preselected in the second half gearbox. Therefore, during a gear change, one clutch simply opens and the other closes simultaneously, enabling gear changes to take place within milliseconds."
