@Ultrasonic_77Yes.
When I start a long session and if my fingers don’t feel stiff. I’ll use manual gears. But because I’m used to auto gears and the sound off accelerating from 2nd - 8th. It is weird accelerating out off a slow corner to the sound off a low drone.
As for staying in high gears first I came across is was when the limited one first featured one off FRA Elite laps. I also think it was the first time he came across some one staying higher gears. And noticed he’s adapting how he drives.
I never use the 1st gear, except at the race start and only for a couple of seconds..
But that doesn't bother me - I know it might not be super realistic, but I like that there's a way to make the acceleration process (especially out of the slow corners) a bit easier, without penalizing the player too much (as what happens when you use Traction Control, for example - which I think it's a fair penalty, but I'm just saying that you lose too much speed and lap time, because it makes you a lot slower).
And even if you'd lose some time by using high(er) gears out of slow corners, it could still be a good compromise by losing some speed, but gaining stability and reducing the chances of spinning/crashing.
