- April 27, 2007, 09:30:29 AMFor non-powergear cars, good results can be achieved with auto gears. Victory is impossible, but a top 5 may be (it depends of the track). For powergear cars (Indy, NSX, Corvette, ...), manual gears is the only way to be competitive, except if the track is without powergear possibilities (which is quite rare).
Advantage of manual gears is to be able to change gear just before a jump even if you're not in the gear change "standard" limit. This often makes you earn speed at the landing of the jump. Also, it's also an advantage somtimes to gear down your car manually and keep accelerator on to decrease speed a little before a corner. With auto gears, you're forced to use break to make the car gear down (or to race on grass).

- April 27, 2007, 09:13:16 AMManual transmission is far better: You can shift earlier, you can use downshifting as brakes, you can far, far earlier get into power gear with the Indy. No automatic driver ever got the fast times the manually racing ones had achieved. So if you want to race seriously you should switch to manual transmission. (For example I am not so eager and still love the automatic transmission but see my times at Zakstunts - uaaah, terrible 
)

Yay, adapting to manuals will take a while for me as well. BTW, do you guys think manual transmission advatanges are largely track-dependent (e.g. easier power gearing, etc.) or the whole automatic system sucks in general (and so one can cut off quite a number of seconds on every track)?

on the team thing, I'd rather try a bit on my one and be a little better before entering a team so i can't disgrace the "team"
but we'll see i'm currently practising the whole manual shifting phase etc.

is there a replay by someone so i can practice some "trics"?
Maybe you should ask if a team would like to let you join the "teams" section ?

...and indeed I intend, for now, to race Kalpen keeping a relaxed semi-amateur profile...
