It may surprise you to learn that the torque converter automatics are a bit lighter and much stronger than the equivalent sized DCT.

Offhand, it seems that maybe all sequential car race transmissions are clutched and operated either pneumatically or electrically like the mega torque R18's. Wouldn't you think they'd spec the lightest, strongest transmissions available, or are there other considerations like packaging and cooling?
