I tend to race with auto, if just because I can't seem to get get used to downshifting with buttons. In my car, I know which gear I want to move to, and don't even have to think about what gear I was on. Sixth to second? just as fast and easy as 3rd to 2nd. With a controller or a paddle shifter, I have to remember how many times to push the button, which is both much slower and harder on my poor head.
Shifting is also harder on me in game because I don't get to really feel the car. It's bad enough for people used to sedans that do their best to separate you from the road. My little Mazdaspeed MX-5 might not have the straight line acceleration of even high end sedans, but the feel of the road makes it a very different beast. It's actually made me play less racing games.
