It's not hard considering the A8 will just do it for you.

Also recording while driving is dangerous at any speed regardless if people are around you or not so you should probably quit doing that.


That’s exactly what I’ve been trying to figure out, when coming off of first from a stop, it hits 2nd gear so quickly, when stopped/idle, I literally put the car in 2nd gear, because 1st gear doesn’t even go up to 25mph almost, it’s actually kinda annoying when I drive and come to a stop, I always have to put the car in 2nd, 1st gets to 2nd way too fast, it was really embarrassing tbh when a V6 mustang beat me a while back before I made my first thread, because I didn’t know crap about how the transmission/gears worked. I was in manual mode and launched off of 6th, car went no where and got embarrassed badly
