Manual Stimulation - Nuthin' like a hand on yer stick!

6MT faster than PDK in their track sessions... pleasantly surprising 🏁

The PDK was the pre-facelift (992.1 vs the manual 992.2 they had now), so not apples-to-apples. Different tires as well (Cup2 R vs Trofeo RS). Pretty sure a 992.2 GT3 with PDK and same tires would be faster (but less fun).
