Many people here are saying manual is better because you can do engine braking though the reality is you don't do engine braking when racing. If you downshift with heel and toe like you should there is no considerable engine braking (or depends on what you mean, there's no engine braking when you're releasing the clutch, but sure having a lower gear selected will contribute to the car slowing down slightly faster).
 
Right. Locking this as we're just going over the same old ground and not getting anywhere.

The facts are

Automatic is better than manual for the OP. That is not up for debate as that is down to his personal preference.

Manual is faster than automatic. That is also not up for debate as it can be proven.
