What is that retro-looking thing on the right?

Hurst "Lightning Rods" from the 80s. Basically a flashy way to manually shift an automatic transmission.

Laughs in formula one.
My kid is learning to drive and I wanted to rent/get ahold of a manual to teach that too, but nothing doing. You can't find one to rent and I'm not buying a whole car for a few weeks' training.
