A slower shift loses some momentum and so a little time, but you can't just add up the shift times and get a total lap time loss.

the line which says everything to me, is this, and, I believe it applies to most of us here.
"As we well know by now, if your lap time puts food on the table, you need a dual-clutch transmission. Freed of manual transmission planning and procedures, Randy could focus more on the rest of the car." The end.
"What’s that? You’re one of those weirdos who doesn’t exclusively track your GT3? You drive it on the street? OK. Well, just ignore the words “lap” and “time” in the last two paragraphs and you’ll be fine."
this is why i chose manual.. nothing at the track puts food on my table, and times don't matter to me. engagement does. great article, thanks for posting.
