As you gain skill and speed, I think those nannies really hinder you in advancing. DCT is very different from an automatic. There is still an active thought process in shifting. You still have to be in the right gear...just minus the foot footwork.

In terms of sheer numbers i can offer only my own anecdotal evidence: Most of the E90
[Edited to add: argh! app fail!] To recap what was lost: Most of the E90/92 M3s I've seen at the track are 6MT. I have DCT and no regrets. But DCT is the only thing that would tempt me from manual, especially for a tracking car. For example, I would not even look at any earlier M3 that's not manual. But I'm maybe unusual in that most of my cars have been stick. Last edited by llis; 01-01-2012 at 05:29 PM.. Reason: bimmerpost app fail |

In present time virtually all open class rally cars run dog box flat shift gearbox's where the clutch is only used for starting and with the anti lag sytems that keep the engine on boost,the deft footwork shown my Rohrl is almost an art of the past.That being said great Rally drivers are still almost God like in their abilities. |

On the street, you aren't pushing the brake pedal all the way down so the accelerator is still much lower than the brake pedal. Make modulating the throttle more difficult. Unlike at the track, you'll have the brake pedal pressed down much further so the brake pedal is almost even with the throttle, makes the blip much, much easier.

number of shifts depends on the track layout. Most HPDE beginners are told that they shift too much, and this takes away from concentration of learning the lines.

Simplifying the driving this way was a tactic I learned from a golf pro I learned from: he joined the students for a round at the end of the group's lessons with a 5 iron and a putter. He shot par. |
