For 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).

A little too late but... Welcome both!!!
I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus against the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid...and I went ahead anyway.
