Welcome back form the 1980's. I hear automatic transmissions back then were terrible! I am glad you are here now. You are safe. We will protect you.
PS: I only drive MT cars, but if I'm racing and I'm counting on fractions of seconds to advance me, I want and auto or DCT. Period. Autos are much more capable IMO from a performance standpoint. They are just faster. No two ways about it. You could have made some kind of logical argument against that statement maybe 5-10 years ago? Manuals on the other hand are more enjoyable to drive, more engaging and just all around badass. Everyone gets that. But personally, I would not want one on the track. It's a liability. Just imagine missing ONE shift, and your whole lap time is down the drain. Not even to mention the much quicker up shifts, rev matched downshifts and convenience of having the paddles right there, never facing the need take your hands off the wheel to up/down shift mid corner or on exit.
