Like I wrote in the first sentence, it's all about trail braking. I'm a left foot late braker and when I do it right usually gain a car length or more on corner entry.
I never missed a shift on my FR-S on road or track either, but it was a challenge to consistently heel-toe rev match downshift especially at the end of a long straight into a chicane. Most DCT's I've read about would make it easy on both the car and driver. Nearly all current bespoke road racing cars are DCT's and drivers left foot brake.
I still enjoy rowing gears in a good box but times have changed and IMO for the better. Of the 150+ vehicles I've owned over decades, there were only a few A/T's and CVT's and the driving experience was forgettable. I'm ready for a DCT in a high performance car, it will be an easy choice...unless I get another Lotus Super Seven.
