How manual transmission came into our life...
I was checking out some older scoreboards, and I was so surprised that at the first
tracks almost everyone used automatic transmission, only KHR and JTK used the manual.
And then in 2001 september, the track with the Audi, the race for milliseconds changed the
whole thing. Racers began to use manual transmission to achieve better times. It`s also
intresting that it was common one year ago, that the winner was SECONDS before the second racer.
So if you say there`s no challenge in the competition now, you aren`t right, there are much greater battles nowadays.
I`ve made a statistic how many racers used manual transmission:
