On realistic mechanical damage setting, is it actually possible to NOT destroy your gearbox? Especially in DTM experience, the thing is as fragile as a spider web in a hurricane.
If i clutch on upshifts only and carefully rev match on downs, to left foot trail brake it is gone by lap 9 or 10. If i only lift on ups (force shift) it is gone on lap 1 or 2.
If i clutch all the time and slowly release clutch on downshifts it can make it longer, but as soon as you release the clutch a bit fast a couple of times it is gone.
Am i the only one finding these a bit on the fragile side, for being a model of a sequential straight cut box with what i would presume to be a quite heavy duty packed clutch?
Not even my real life old WV Golf dirt track racing fun car with the standard road car transmission is this fragile, when abused.
Also, the game seems to trigger damage as soon as there is a clutchless shift, even if the rev match is exact and no torque is on the driveline.
Feels strange.
Also, i would have thought the DTM teams used engine cut electronics, but maybe they don't? I am a bit rusty on the DTM regulations of later years... But when looking at the races on tv it sounds like a cutter...
