I actually fall on both sides of the manual argument. I enjoy shifting on the street, it's more fun and challenging and keeps me focused on driving. Even my Mazda3 is a 6 speed. I've never driven an automatic on track before but I'd like to see how it is. Not a true automatic - I still want to choose which gear I want to be in - but almost all modern automatics have that option, most with paddle-shifters. There are many times when I'm trying to work on finding the right line and not having to shift would let me focus a little better. I have a long way to go before I can claim to have Senna skills! Working on one thing at a time would be nice.
My troubles with heel-toeing are compounded by the fact that my brake pedal is too low or too far away from the gas pedal when I'm braking at the track. I would like to find a solution to raise the brake pedal or extend the gas pedal's width. On the street, I don't use the brakes that often so I don't heel-toe anyway. This never even crossed my mind on a bike, maybe because there is no option but manual. But on a bike, the controls are laid out in such a way that it's easier to rev match. |
