I had 7 runs that day, the first 3 runs were left in D with the traction control off... the last 4 were done with the gear being bumped to first gear while at the start line and then left to shift up on its own into 2nd, it held 2nd the entire time. I did down shift it at the back of the course once, but didn't like how i couldn't really predict exactly when it did the downshift. When it was in auto, it would upshift during certain sections where i held the throttle evenly, and then it would down shift when i would hit the gas, which was usually during a turn and would buck and have the traction control kick in. That would then make the car bog down.

I wish more people actually drove these cars like they were meant to be driving instead of dusting them off and looking at them sit in the garage.
