I was looking at that powershift stand at autosport. tbh i think it is a bit overrated. i mean it's clever, don't get me wrong, but the function that if you change down 2 gears but the rpm is too high so it wont let you, then when you brake and the rpm drop low enough it will change down those 2 gears. I think, well i know, this irritate a lot of drivers. as the system is changing when IT wants rather than when YOU want.

with gear tronics YOU set up what you want ,if you don,t want it fully auto,then don,t use that mode.
then you just hit the paddles and change down or up as many or as few as you like ,it still blips throttle on downchange+ engine cut to unload the the dogs and won,t allow selection with no clutch pressed ,unless it is within the rpm band you have set .
so no over-revving of engine or sudden lock up of wheels ever
you can use the clutch if you want and bang it down 5 gears as quick as it takes to say it -but when would you want to go down that many at once not very often ,so you only use the clutch really for starts .
it will take as much setting up as the engine ecu to get it perfect.
you don,t have to have paddle shift it can work with a gear lever as well ,justdifferent set-up
