But these all daily things it can't:

2. Avoiding upshift just before the turn.
3. Out-accelerate the turn with progressive massa transfer to the rear after the apex.
When a auto box can do this, than I'd take it.

Nice points there but what about the gearboxes in racing cars like the ones closer to standard cars in WTCC. I know they are different quite a bit....does anyone know how different? They stopped using manuals in a long time now.
