New to UK and Ferrari

I sympathise on the transmission. Its the only thing about the CS I don't like, and especially around town/traffic. I've had the car nearly 3 years and 5k Km and still can't say I like it or I'm use to it in normal driving. When on track or open road however it is in its element and the balance, feel and communication it transmits to the driver is incredible.

As people have already said, always have it on race (or all traction control off) unless conditions don't allow. The bite is more responsive and you also save your clutch.

Not to get caned on a Ferrari board, but my experience to date had been that Ferrari feedback felt numb compared to the Gt3/RS world I came from. However, the CS has changed my mind in that. It is an incredibly communicative car.

The tranny seems fine around town as long as you short shift it and let it live in lower rpms. The use of neutral at stoplights, stop/go traffic also. It behaves well at the extremes and awful in mid rpm, mid-aggressive driving. It wants to be 9/10s rush to redline or short-shifted. I’m sure that isn’t the best on the clutch. I agree; every f1/smg I’ve ever owned I’ve always kept in most aggressive setting. I even got a ton of clutch life out of an ill designed 2006 Mas QP. Those F1’s were TERRIBLE and as flimsy as paper.
