Steve your camaro is sick, and will always be sick! It is what started pro-touring and is a bench mark for anyone wanting to do the same. See you next year man.
F1 cars these days are true electronic manuals with single clutches. They get nearly instant shifts by using extremely high pressure hydraulics and computer controlled solenoids, but the rules state they have to have a single clutch and cannot have any shifting that is not initiated by the driver. As for paddle shifters being for people who can't drive a real manual, most of the guys I race with prefer sequentials or paddle shifters. Some of them have been racing since the Can-Am days.
For the way he's driving, paddle shifters are fine. If you want to drift, you have to have a stick shift so you can lock up your back wheels. For a grip driver like this camaro, he does just fine with paddles. Aren't F1 cars not actually automatics? I thought they are like sequential dual clutch that are electronically operated for virtually instant shifts...
Ok I take that as a legitimate complaint. Yes, you usually do lose your clutch. There are also clutchless cars with a shifter...but that's a bit different...
You argument makes more sense when you simply state that it's the joy and feeling of driving with a stick and a clutch...

I'm going to have to ask you to never call it "grip" racing ever again...
This is NOT Need for Speed.

i disagree, paddle shifters should be called semi-automatic. i only think this because you lose your clutch pedal with paddle shifters, am i right?
anyways i'm very narrow minded about this, sorry for bashing you guys or offending anyone, that is an awesome camaro.
