For straight out speed off the line you cant beat just letting the box do its own thing. Just floor it and it sorts the rest out. I do the same as you mdt, flick down a couple of gears on the paddles before corners and then back on the gas. You really only need to "help" the gears along where theres lots of cornering. Are you in Sport + ? That seems to get the gearbox "thinking" the most active, blipping itself on down shifts etc. Thoroughly agree, its a wicked bit of kit, very impressive technically..
