Honestly, for me, those "minor" changes someone else mentioned are the real reason that the GTS software is enjoyable.
And yet people out there are claiming the opposite. Some people are saying that its the slipping of the clutches that wears them most, and by shifting faster, you are limiting the wear on the clutches due to less slipping.

Which is actually true?
