Geez..., this PDK v. manual debate is going to go like WW1 trench warfare. Too bad.
Is F1 faster and more fun to watch since PDK?
My bet cars are not faster simply because the shifts are faster. It's also because the driver has more mental energy (more attention) to spend on paying attention to what's happening to the car and road.
Now, if you have PDK in your car, besides going a bit faster don't you think your "involvement" with the car and road will get more satisfying? Sure you can just get lazy or make yourself bored.
Would be interesting to ask F1 drivers if they're "less involved" with driving since servo-assisted gearboxes/clutchs. I bet they will unanimosuly say it has made their job _MORE_ challenging, not less.
So you can say F1 guys are "less involved" because their car are equipped with "PDK?" My bet that's gonna turn out to be a freeking absurd statement.
BTW, Guys also complain about exhaust systems being boring. Guess what? An extremely fast perfectly rev-matched up- or downshift can almost produce an orgasm. I don't think anybody can say that about rowing with a manual; too much work involved.
well said, this so called talk about driving involvement when using manual stick is crap
