Not necessarily when corners are involved. Straights are boring, they only connect the fun bits. My definition of a fun car is one that eats corners and to do that you have to be absolutely sure what gear you are in.

I want to know that I am in 2nd gear after screaming in to a hairpin. If a car is getting a little floaty around a curve at the top of 3rd or 4th I'd like it to change gear when I consider it safe to do so. I don't want to have to rely on a yaw sensor, traction control, engine management, etc to determine my changes.
