Apparently there is a DIY for your perceived backwards shifting. Personally, I like it the way it is, but, each to their own preference.
I'm sure everyone has their own personal preference, but that's the way it's done in race cars. I can't say I know the true reason behind it, but it may be because all the g's that race cars go through. Plus, I guess you'd be braking as you downshift so pushing forward makes sense I guess.
