I will say though when you get into supercar territory then paddles and nannies are necessary to just keep the car on the track for most mortals. I remember when Walter Rohrl was finished testing the first 911 GT2 he said "You don't plan on selling these to the general public now do you?" Last edited by TommyW; 07-31-2020 at 08:30 PM. |

Eloquently stated, TommyW. I think it would be a shame to see the demise of the manual 'box, but only because I like to drive them. Can't argue with them being quick around a track.
Maybe in the future, gearbox types will be factored in to racing classes the way all wheel drive and capacity is. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk |

I saw Matt Farrah on Joe Rogan and he said something that made more sense than anything that I had previously heard,regarding dual clutch. He said that after a car has around 500 hp,then it becomes legit dangerous to take a hand off the wheel,and becomes pretty scary. |

Heal and toe or auto blipping really comes into play when decelerating from high speed, and you are planning to select a gear (match engine speed to the lower gear) to drive through a bend. If you're slowing to a stop then no point going through the gears as the brakes are enough.
