All the racing games I've played I've used an automatic transmission. I had fewer thing to think about etc. and it was an easy way out.
After some gentle nudging from my F1 2010 Championship buddies, I started playing GT5 with a manual transmission and really started to like it. Except when it came to the race cars. The speed you had to shift at, especially in the lower gears, messed me and my lap times up. After a while, it started to get better and I now play GT5 with manual gears only.
Tonight I spent three hours playing F1 2011 Time Attack with manual gears. The first hour there was a lot of cussing and I almost switched back to automatic. But I toughed it out and I started to get the hang of it. I actually got some silvers in the time attack, sweet.
Long ways to go to be totally comfortable, but it's a start.
