I also really don't see how it's more intuitive to drive on track than "the power is always available when you put your foot down?"

I guess I'm glad someone is enjoying it, but it just doesn't make any sense to me.
It is basically only for the joy of it, like an MT, probably slower around the track too.

It's definitely slower, unless they offset it with some kind of torque boost to hit the same average power.

I guess I'll be alone in this, but I just can't enjoy something this fake.
