Modern, high end race cars are automatics. Low end or lighter cars will be manual.
No, they're sequential manuals. Unless you're talking about drag racing, where automatics are common.
Okay that makes some sense to me.
Follow-up question: why don't modern commuter cars use the paddle shifters? Why keep the cumbersome clutch-and-stick system?
It's cheap and reliable.
