Default to those of you who have done the R8 Experience @ Infineon...

Did they have both 6spd manual and R-tronic gearboxes available?

Going to be doing it next month, and trying to figure out if my GF will be able to participate or not (she can't drive stick well enough to do it in a $120k car on a race track)

Yes. R-tronic was more common than stick when we went.

Default Same here. Father and I started with stick, moved on to R-Tronic.

I would never get they paddles for the street, but on the track they are amazing. Really allow you to focus on the line and braking.

3rd gear synchro also got a little crunchy in the stick car we were driving, must have been the people before us ;-)

Both cars available. They just took delivery of several new '09s just before the holidays.
