We will be autocrossing our Auto in National Level ST class competition. Bought the auto because of its ability to up or downshift quickly in situations that you would otherwise just bang the limiter to avoid the shift. Certain courses will favor the ability to either grab third and then trail the car into a corner with some left foot brake while downshifting to second seamlessly or pull the car out of a slow speed corner with first gear instead of lugging off the corner in second because the shift down and back up simply takes too long to justify.

I've been racing for almost 38 years and I LOVE manuals, but this auto is intriguing on too many levels not to give it a go.
