I play with an Analog Clutch (G25) and turned off Autoblip on Down- / Upshift. This works fine. But in the FXO / XR-GTR Overtaking Lessons it is turned on automatically. The "non-Overtaking" Lessons are OK.
If it would, then it should autoblip on Downshift EVER. But it doesn´t in the other Sessions and even not in Multiplayer / Singleplayer / Hotlapping. So I think it´s a bug
