Chris and Finn:
Hmm....what would I call such a transmission? I know - let's call it, "PDK."
So are double clutch transmissions now the state of the art? Is this new for this year? Cool.
Regards to all.

Similar to pre-selector transmissions 30 +years ago.. On`Airshifters we have the shiftcut set at .2 ms and they sound like F1 cars when they shift...
