Basically it alluded to the problem with not being able to hold a gear even in the manual mode thus not being in the proper gear for the next corner/segment of the track. Also some inconsistent up and down shifts in the the auto mode. Of course this is all on the track with experienced drivers. The Z4 35is DCT times were off about 4 sec from the 1M with a manual and basically the same engine (OK so it does have a locking diff, M3 brakes and suspension). Sorry all you DCT lovers!
