The car stays in 3 during the whole autocross course.
So where's the enjoyment supposed to start? Or maybe I'm more into driving fast and finding the fastest way around a track or cones that adding shifting into that mix is pointless.
I'm going to see if I can take out an AT FR-S service loaner when I bring my car in for 7500 mile service so that I can make up my mind.

You cant just...not shift. Leaving it in third isnt racing. It sounds lazy to me. Unless its some ridiculously smooth turning track with nothing interesting. If so, find better places to auto x. If not, you should probably use second.
