[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 15490866, member: 121775"] Lewis Hamilton gets PAID millions of dollars per year to drive an automatic. Formula 1 (and LeMans) teams want their drivers to be focused solely on turning the steering wheel and hitting the brake points and apexes. An automatic transmission allows them to do that by taking most of the thought and skill out of shifting. Send Lewis around a track in an automatic F1 car then in one equipped with a real manual, and I bet you wouldn't be able to slide a piece of paper between the cars by looking at the times. Plenty of "fast" automatic cars get their asses handed to them by cars with [b]man[/b]ual transmissions. The [b]man[/b] driving the stick just needs to know how to shift. If you're so hung up on the monkey-boy transmission being the best, then have at it. However, if you're not putting food on the table from racing, and you're driving a performance car with an automatic transmission, you're not really an enthusiast. You're just a cruiser. [/QUOTE]
