    I think the title is self explanatory

    Simply because no modern race series it would be featured in still uses manual gearboxes. They use either sequential or more uncommon a dual clutch system.

    Well yeah dct and seq are faster but whats more engaging? a rubik's cube or a children's toy with three shapes and three holes.
    I personally find Manual way more fun to drive and i know a lot of people who have the same opinion.

    You can obviously put three shapes in three holes way faster and easier than you can solve a rubik's cube but if your get good you can solve a rubik's cube almost as fast.

    So if your opinion on fun is pure speed and efficiency, cool. But I'd like the option to have adjustable gear ratios with Manual.

    It's a racing car. Designed for the fastest lap times. A sequential or a DCT is much faster around a track

    Why not have it as an option? Aftermarket just doesn't exist on this car? Its only a "race car", nothing else?

    I mean most of the configs are commuters with manual transmissions. I just want a manual transmission with adjustable gear ratios

    So instead of calling it a "race" transmission they can call it a "street" transmission.

    That's sequential not manual.
    --- Post updated ---
    I mean sequential is "manual", so how about "street 6 speed manual transmission", Is that specific enough.

    Adding parts always has a maintenance cost and since in this case the sequential is actually superior to a manual, I don't see a reason to take this additional maintenance cost.

    Yeah i all-ready stated that sequential is faster.

    its a maintenance cost to add something to this car that's already in the game?

    You guys missed an big opportunity for a Modern high tec 7 gear manual transmission
    my thrustmaster shifter even has a 7th gear and waits to get used in beamng.
    .
    https://www.zf.com/products/en/cars/products_29131.html

    The manual transmission has an big meaning in general racing and for car enthusiasts around the world.
    (the manual H-pattern transmission was brought trough racing on the streets)
    i thought you knew that im dissapointed that this get so wisched away like that.



    but that E disease gets heard no offense
