Any more questions!

"We get it. Enthusiasts like three-pedal manuals. We like to shift our own gears. We enjoy the feeling of nailing heel-and-toe downshifts a dozen times a lap, lap after lap. It's part of the experience.
Wrong.
It was part of the experience, once upon a time. Just like having a mechanic ride along on track was part of the Indy experience, once upon a time.
Just like skipping the seat belts because it was safer to be thrown free of the car in a crash, once upon a time.
Just like unassisted brakes were the epitome of feel and function.
Once upon a time.
The future isn't with the three-pedal manual. Hell, the present isn't even with the three pedal, if you're serious about racing your car.
What would a professional race team do with a traditional three-pedal transmission in a production-based Porsche 911 GT3? They'd chuck it and install a mechanically or pneumatically-operated dog-type sequential gearbox, most likely.
In fact, that's exactly how Porsche equips its own 911 GT3 Cup car: a sequential manual six-speed dog-type G97/63 gearbox.
Why? Because it's faster and more durable than a synchromesh three-pedal. And yes, it technically has three pedals, but the clutch pedal isn't used nearly as often owing to the gearbox's design--though you still do get the joy of the heel-toe downshift.
The PDK dual-clutch transmission is the closest thing we can get in a production street car. It uses electronics to automate much of the process for both street-friendliness and durability, but in many ways, it's a better approximation of current racing technology than an H-pattern. Especially once you start comparing to the almost fully automated gearboxes in open-wheel race cars.
Better yet, the PDK in the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 isn't your run-of-the-mill street stuff. It's tuned for quicker, more aggressive shifts, modeled after the characteristics of a racing sequential gearbox. The one in the upcoming GT3 RS is likely to be even more high-strung."
