How much faster is buttonclutching in iRacing?

Trying to establish how much faster buttonclutching is compared to auto-clutch. First, I set a reference lap with auto-clutch enabled. Then I drive another lap with button-clutch. From the delta timing you can see how much faster it is. From shifting from 1st to 5th I gain about 2 tenths.

Hello! How do you set a reference lap? That's why that slider is up in the middle?

@fenrirthecount The referencelap is set by doing exactly the same thing: standing start of one lap. Difference is I used the auto clutch feature on the reference lap. Slider in the middle is de Delta timing iRacing provides. It shows the difference to the (then) fastest lap.

Wow. Are you going to do the same experiment with say the Mustang or Mazda and macros?

[miTsnamsoM]

@MadCat360 The Mazda isn't any faster with buttonclutching/macro's. I haven't tested the Mustang thoroughly, but from my limited testing the difference is much smaller than in the Skip.

The worst are the Skip Barber and the MX5 I'd say...

this is actually a pretty cool little experiment. Shows the aids arent perfect and you should really learn how to drive properly yourself.
