disagree strongly. understanding your driving style, the physics and how to make it work better it something you need to have a full handle of before you start to throw many more hundreds of thousands of pounds at f3. f1 is built around it.
i think fford is the perfect place to learn the skills of looking at your laps in terms of squiggles on a graph. the driving experience is so raw that it's very simple to translate whats happening in the car to what's happening on the screen or on your printout.
however, i agree with you on gearboxes. doing your first racing stuff on flappy paddles is like learning to drive on the road in an automatic.
