So a manual maybe physically challenging...I'll take that over diverting mental capacity and my eyes to gear shifts.

It takes me an entire day to really get into the rhythm and gear shifts consistent with the DCT. Takes me one session with a 6sp.
Interesting, I'll post impressions once I get this car out there. My first track day with the CCA at LRP won't be until late April.
