First rule of the internet: don't feed the trolls.
Back on topic, 1986 almost always uses two drivers. One has control of the drivetrain and shifting, and any functions that take over the drive (autoaim, auto-cheval). Everything else is on the other operator, so that the main driver can focus on driving. Lots of practice is required to execute this well, although the same is true of any setup. A great coach is essential as well, so that everyone is on the same page all the the time.
