I also track an auto trans. You get the modified shift points when you pull the lever to the left (then it upshifts near redline). I think the only thing sport+ does is throttle blips on downshifts, but downshifts are pretty crisp anyways.
Regardless, just use the paddles -- the auto shifting is pretty hopeless on track. Biggest issue is it hesitates to downshift under braking. So you often end a gear or two taller than what you need. Even worse, you start rolling on the throttle near the apex, the transmission lags a bit, finally realizes what you had in mind a second or so later, and kickdown downshifts these 1-2 gears. This (i) upsets the car; (ii) ruins your hopes for being smooth on the exit. |
Makes sense and thanks again
