"easier".This is the crux of the matter. MR is just a bit too easy on the senses as it is. Alas all the more hard core sports cars I have tried, I either can't fit in, can't afford or can't fix.andyj007 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2017 10:47 pm have you driven one Buzyg the involvement statement is not true using paddles... you still push or pull to change gear the involvement is the same, you just dont have to use your leg dont get me worng i have no gripes with manuals i have a lotus evora., manual, and a trcak race prepared clio.
it would make zero difference to my enjoyment/involvement on the track in the clio if this was paddle shift or manual, in fact a paddle would be better , as sometimes mid corner it woudl be easier to change gear whilst hanging onto to a serious slide like wise the paddle shift on the evora is fantastic... i think it beats the manual i have... hell my mapped smart roadster had paddle shifts that changed 1/4 second after you pulled the paddle and that was epic, it woudl run rings round a z4 coupe manual on a tight (very extremely tight) twisty with no straights circuit,
Back to the OPs point though an auto may be faster on track and therefore many would get more out of the lap time than the use of a clutch pedal. I'm just not one of those yet.
