CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Metric 200 Auto 1-2 shift

Without E-Shift my attention is distracted to shifting either once or twice...

With it I can concentrate on the race as it develops.....and to me that is a plus.

If it's legal and it is why not use it...

My Firebird could occasionally do a very high wheelie and on at least one run I shifted way early just from that distraction.....

Shifting the 2-3 was pretty easy but to me making it automatic is good....

I had a shifter that needed a gate plate change and that made it like driving a 4 speed......

I had 3 moves to make to shift twice.....LOL

If I wanted to make racing more about just driving, I'd get a clutch pedal.....LOL
