    Hello,

    I realised that you can perform a record using manual clutch or automatic clutch. I think could be interesting indicate in the table results the used "aids". If not i think it is not fair. I think is not the same do a best lap with BMWM1 Procar with automatic clutch or with manual clutch, the same with H shifter o paddles.

    Following the same topic, for the official multiplayter events the races will be with realistic characteristics? Some body konws something related to it?

    By the way it's my Point of view. What do you think?

    I usually race cars that have sequential gearboxes (GT3, F1 etc), and I use the paddle shifters on my wheel.

    However sometimes I race H-pattern cars as well. I also have an H-pattern shifter with my setup (G29). If I am racing a car that has an H-pattern shifter, I will set the clutch to "manual". Since I have a clutch pedal on the G29, I like to make it as realistic as possible and force myself to heel-toe when driving these kinds of cars.

    I wish there was a way in multiplayer to create a race where H-pattern cars force the clutch to "manual". What I would like is to be able to set up a race where I know everyone is using an H-pattern shifter and is forced to heel-toe. It would be cool to see guys spinning out in turn entry because they didn't heel-toe correctly, making sure everyone is forced to race the same way, without someone just setting the clutch to automatic.

    Yeah I fully agree that people like me who are unable to use clutch should not be allowed to compete on the same LBs as people who are so fortunate that they can use a manual clutch.

    ByTheWay: I dont think I have seen ANY racing game with some kind of LB lists who does distinguish between people using manual/auto clutch. They all lists LBs in what you call "not fair" way.

    Don't the time trial rankings show which types of aids were used? Or am I thinking of RSR?
