I'm sure it's been asked of you before Norm but I don't remember. What about cars with only one forward gear like most electrics? They aren't automatics and 99% of your track issues aren't there. It's all about foot control and takes gears out of the equation. Other than getting bored because no shifting, thoughts? Also going for more performance oriented than political BS.Most people never notice.
If you're a pro driver - which implies running or having run in some upper level of competitive motorsports - you'd have forced yourself to get past any objections you might have had to the transmission type, given that that could be the difference in your finishing position. I've even said publicly that I'd suck it up and do that, too, if I was near the pointy end of a W2W or Time Trial series.
Annoying is necessarily a personal and subjective thing where there's no such thing as objective accuracy. There is no guarantee that what I find annoying is anything you'd even notice. And on the other side of the coin, you can't extend your definitions of what might be just barely unnoticeable to you as being a lower-limit boundary on what might bother me or anybody else.
I know enough about how things like torque converters and hydraulically-applied clutches work to more or less understand their basic operational characteristics on a time-history basis. Not just by what they might feel like, which is the only thing most other people even begin to consider (it's the engineer in me, and I can relate theory to actual practice). I've even looked into these 10R80/10L90 transmissions in some detail, just to understand them better.
