AT. MT is fun, and all, but it is a 20th century technology. I like to track and do autocross. Having a strong karting background, I left foot brake.

MT will not let you LFB for the turns, and you will lose time moving feet. I know, we are talking tenths of seconds, but this is one of the reasons the F1 drivers who RFB have been slower (read: Rubens).

Shifting is a tertiary act to driving. Taking out shifting, I can move more focus and concentration to identifying the line, measuring the grip, feeling the slip, threshold braking, etc.

I love manual, but I love going fast too, and AT, at least this particular one, makes this possible.
