Your questions are extreme and say things i never ever said or even implied. I simply said that shifting is part of the skill and PDK takes that away.
part means a subset, not the whole. Please don't suggest that i took anything away from racers who use it. That's unfair.
If i was a pro racer, i'd use it. Absolutely. But i'm not. And likely never will be.
As a competitive club racer i might not use it either. That's the beauty of spec racing - you can find a spec that eliminates such arms-race-escalation.
Do i think PDK gives them an advantage? Absolutely - there is no question. Andrew Davis said it straight out when he was at our recent drivers seminar.
(for the record, he said he'd use whatever made him faster, and that was PDK). But read between the lines.
Its better. Its an advantage. But it takes some of the participation out. These are facts, the rest is preference and opinion.
I do this for enjoyment. I will never be the fastest. Ergo, I prefer a manual shift.
I never,ever said a PDK drives for you But it DOES shift for you, and that's one less thing to do in parallel.
