GT86 Automatic at Circuit Zolder - Skylimit Events Track Day "Free Driving Session 2" (PART 1)

Are you happy with auto gearbox on track? It looks like it shifts pretty quick - is it good enough? I'm considering buying one as fun/track car but only drove manual so far...

The auto’s pretty good once you learn how to “anticipate” when it shifts - it’s no DSG but does change pretty quickly, especially for a torque converter box. In my case, the auto makes sense as I live in a crowded city (London) and do long motorway journeys where the taller gearing is better - oddly, the auto box also handles more power than the manuals, which was perfect for when I recently fitted a supercharger 👍🏼

@@3782MC thanks for the reply, that makes sense. For me it's not going to be a daily car and manual would be normally an obvious choice, but there are couple of well maintained autos in my area to choose from and I anticipate they might be less abused than manuals... Guess couple test drives will tell more. BTW just discovered your newest vids after FI install, makes quite a difference... Hope the SC experience will be problem-free for the engine long term! :)

No transmission cooler - all stock, including trans fluid.
