Of the few racing games I have that have a manual option, usually manual.
In Burnout 1 and 2 (ok I sold 1 now) I started using Auto, but eventually tried manual and have used that since.
In F1WGP2 (N64) I found manual incredibly tricky, but I suppose it would be on a formula 1 car.
I don't think I have any other games with such options.
