My kids said I couldn't do it, drive a real manual after 10 years driving autos. So one afternoon at Extreme off road @ Colo Heigths I I got to play with a WRX Turbo on the dirt.
I was a nice drive out (lots of bikes on the Putty Rd and 2 unmakered cop cars). 8 laps and one fast lap. Only got 4th once, 2nd and 3rd most of the time to keep the WRX on boost. UK

I must agree with you. After 1 lap I was double shuffling and enjoying the dirt. I was worried that I would spend most of the time looking for gear and forgetting to use the clutch. UK
