Any more many road race cars (F1) are using sequentional manual gearboxes. No clutch to shift, just hit the paddle shifter...because the electro mechanical clutching is faster than manual shifting.

Same concept applies...once racers have an advantage by using electronic shifting, then they will, and it will follow down.

Then there will be those of us (like me ) who like to iuse a clutch or shift move a lever rather than push a button...there will be those whoe don't.....cie la Vie
