I find that saying any auto mode would be faster on a track than manual mode to be very hard to believe. On the track, no auto mode can anticipate what gear you want to be in, in any particular situation or for any particular corner. Plus, every manufacturers auto mode that I'm aware won't downshift or kick down until you begin to accelerate out of the apex (or just prior to the apex) which can unsettle the car at the limit of adhesion which can lead to a spin.
Any transmission that could downshift to the correct gear to downshift to for each particular corner would truly be amazing.
