That's hardly the case. F1 cars haven't used manual transmissions since 1995. DCT's enable the absurdly fast 0-60 and lap times that people expect when they're paying hundreds of thousands for a car. This is nothing new. Modern supercars haven't been offered with manual transmissions across most brands for nearly 10 years. You won't find them in a McLaren or Lamborghini made in nearly the past decade. Even Porsche doesn't offer them on the top 911 trims. Audi ditched it for the R8 in 2015. I don't think Mercedes has ever offered one for their AMG cars. As far as drag racing goes most serious competitors uses automatic transmissions.
