I am not a fan of this on the track and would rather not have it . Sometimes you are already rather high in the rpm's, you want to floor it and do not want to jump to the limiter by downshifting for 50 yards before you have to shift up again. The PDK is so quick that it may in fact improve your time, but I do not like the car to make a decision for me when I am in manual. Hence why I am fine with the manual mode hitting the rev limiter too...
