To be clear about it. If you're not used to manually operating a clutch, you'll be faster with automatic clutch. no doubt about it. But you'll be faster against yourself , that should be clear.

If you know how to manually operate a clutch properly, potentially you'll be faster than yourself using automatic clutch.

The above though doesn't mean that if I'm not that good of a driver, I'll be faster using the clutch manually against another a bit better driver that uses the automatic clutch.

Point is, it's just an insignificant tad faster to use the clutch, but first you've got to bloody know how to drive !

so every car will have it's own gearbox, and there's going to be cars with H pattern only and others with paddle shifts, etc?

Please , Please, don't do like rFactor 1&2, their gearbox SUCKS so much.
In ALL cars, you can use H-Shifter or sequential, and you don't have to clutch to gear up/down.

i posted it to early in the morning,. my brain gave me the words, "hint hint" ... i know the car has already been announced

magicfr · Sep 11, 2012

As French I don't understand what 'hint hint' can be anything else than ...."a hint" , sorry

wow the 86 Lotus-with-the-mostest. Here's the other JPS driver at Adelaide, with much lower boost in race trim than senna's awesome qly lap. Best thing is the 6 to 4 to 2 and 1 downshift. The short rev range married with the huge turbo lag and small power band make for a beast.

Hampus Andersson · Sep 11, 2012

Please give us the 5 speed gearbox!

Nicer to pull longer on each gear with this sort of monsters

Dany Five · Sep 11, 2012

Incredible footage, love that downshifts...

I never tryed to learn the clutch too Senad cause when it comes to "hotlapping" etc noone uses it so i followed the same way but now if this will happen,we will drive more reaslistic like the real drivers and of course it will be harder but challenging!

Me too

. Just use if for braking or drifting (to reduce engine braking, depending on the car) . But the point is as you said, once it's worth using it, it's worth it.

Oh and... you do remember when I was saying that driving in Assetto Corsa is easy with whatever car?
Well yeah, screw that

That's the main point IMHO. Unlike what some other devs do if you build cars accurate, they are neither more forgiving / progressive nor "easier" to handle then their real counterpart. It's all about the learning curve and how the car "communicates" its behaviour. I hope AC does that through FFB, sound and basically everything else

. If you make it forcefully "easier" then people just push more and more because you never know when the car is on the edge of its performance.
