..answers to your questions

thanks for questions guys..

yes it was by invite only and not a general public thing. The group isn't exclusive as such, just invitations and word of mouth referrals tend to be the way it works and the limited spots fill up fast.

The drivers group I am on list for has steadily been adding special treats and attractions like this for past year or so so just lucky.. I knew the Lamborghini day was coming up so made sure I set aside the day off..

I've been passenger in 360 Modena F1 on same track but not driven so can't compare but chose e-gear to see what a system like this felt like in general.

In "Auto" mode it shifted nice and smoothly, not a "track attack" thing but changed gears with what looked like maximum smoothness in mind and did a great job.

As to other gear changes I deliberately mixed up the driving including very low revs in 3rd gear coming out of hairpin right up to high revving changes going both up and down and it handled the gear changes as quickly as I flicked the lever with fingertips - it was a simple and quick as that.

I didn't select any specific shift track mode, just used the default and it shifted quickly without any interruptions to smoothness at all - very very impressive!

There wasn't a *huge* amount of time as *everyone* on the day was lining up for a drive so couldn't experiment with every possible option when it was my turn so just concentrated on a few simple things to get an overall impression.

I admit to being a "manual" fan though just because of the feeling I happen to prefer, but if you chose the e-gear you'd have a fantastically capable system at your fingertips.

Alex.
