Topic: Auto or Manual?
Which transmission is recommended for a first time racer? Three of our four (maybe five) drivers already knows how to drive a stick well, two of the three have actual racing experience, and we have time to teach the other two. But which tranny would give us a better chance of finishing the race? Assume an '80s Volvo 240
It should also be noted that ALL OF US know the benefits of a manual transmission, being able to conserve fuel if we need to, better engine control, better car control, etc. But having our clutch burn out four hours in isn't a very enticing scenario either, hence the question
