Yeah... that's why every F1 car has a stick shift.

But seriously, the whole point of the DCT, and the reason it's SO much better than the ZF8 is that it *does* let the driver choose the gears, and it's extremely good at acting on those decisions for both upshifts and downshifts (whereas the ZF8 is awful for downshift lag)

There are entire threads on this https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1547234

But in short, if you've driven a DCT hard on track in manual mode then you really don't miss a mechanical clutch pedal.
