Just found this out yesterday........

Post by Lig » Thu Jul 25, 2019 12:23 pm

That when you drive in 'M' with the paddles, it doesn't automatically up-shift when you hit the limiter...

I think this is good and how it should be, but all the other cars I have driven (including my old C5) always shift up.

I was in the outside lane when it hit the limiter and just basically cut out, a bit scary.... but good to know!!!

Does this mean that you could stall it in 'M' when slowing down ?? Hmmmmmmmmmm..........

Cheers,
Lig.

If you switch your Dash display to LapTimer whilst in M mode the gear change indicator will come up and flash red as you hit the limiter.
