Welcome to the party and enjoy the new ride!
My non sport-chrono PDK strategy:
1. Getting groceries or hauling the dogs- leave in auto and slog around in 7th gear.
2. Spirited canyon carving- Fully manual to keep the revs up and mostly shift between 3rd and 4th with engine braking.
3. Race track- Use the paddles to choose my downshift in auto/manual and just mash the gas on corner exit for perfect auto-shifts at redline all the way to the next corner.
