Well, I never mentioned mid-corner gear changes, but since you asked:
That's the beauty of a smooth, fast automatic/sequential: Less momentum/weight shift during gear changes....while you have to worry about weight transfer due to clutch disengagement, I can click off another gear (up or down) to be in the meat of the power band all of the time and gain a speed advantage while navigating the Climbing Esses at VIR, through the esses at exit of the Octopus at NJMP, down the Corkscrew/Little Bend at Shenandoah, or through the esses at Road Atlanta. Just to name a few off the top of my head.
