I think they canned those.Nascar does shift on the short tracks and of course the road races which would be the closest to the discussion about shifting in turns.
I just eat beans and light a match.The real story here is that DSG farts give you extra thrust
I think they canned those.
I think you meant they don't clutch. The definitely DO shift!NASCAR still uses sticks but other than leaving and entering the pits, they don't shift so not an argument for rowing.

But correct, watching the in-car footwell cameras they show sometimes you see they lift off the throttle a bit and basically jam it into whatever gear is next. A tricky rev-matching affair. Probably destroy a street car shifting that way (but you never know....)
You guys are right. Strong, straight cut gears and no clutching on the road courses. Another reason NASCAR is a poor argument or one for smooth shifting into corners.Right now they're all canned but don't they still have two road course races? Sonoma and I can't remember the other one.
ftfyNothing wrong with preferring a DSG but they are not faster.
To Repeat:My apologies..... I was not intending to insult you per se, rather pointedly refute the idea that a manual transmission was or is or will ever be a superior technology on a race track.
Let me say it in a different way in hopes of not offending you.
I completely disagree with your position sir, as do the following manufacturers.
Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McClaren, Bugatti, AMG-Mercedes, Corvette, Audi, BMW, etc......
As a counterpoint, in support of your position, I do believe NASCAR is still utilizing Manual transmissions, but to be honest with you, I do not follow or know much about that particular racing series..... and I may be mistaken.
I would also be interested in the opinions of respected racing professionals who we may both know, and can refer to for their expertise on this particular subject. If you are aware of persons who would qualify and speak in support of your position, I would enjoy hearing their perspective.
So dtran11 - Were you able to figure things out at least a little bit?
Clutch-out between 1-2, 2-3, etc is a consistent process. There is no reason to pause the clutch-out in the middle of the throw. It will make it more difficult for you as now you're adding another variable to your process. Part of the reason why the bypass valve is in the clutchline is to keep the clutch-out process smooth and consistent.
I don't know if this helps, but during normal acceleration there is nothing fast I am doing. It's a graceful process, no super fast moving of the shift lever or any fast clutch-outs. It's a very relaxed, grand touring kind of driving.. which is what I love my Golf-R for. She is an absolute joy to drive.
Let's get one thing straight.. I have the biggest dong in my household.Lets recap:
OP wants some help with learning to become a better driver.
Everybody whips their dong out and starts waving it around.
6 pages of arguing about whose got the biggest.
1 page where people were actually giving OP advice.

When shifting from 1 to 2 do you wait for the rev to fall or do you slip the clutch?So dtran11 - Were you able to figure things out at least a little bit?
