Yep, I'm aware how the DCT shaft set-up works (we actually just developed a new gearkit at work for one of the most popular DCT on the market atm) but it's very similar with the planetary arrangement in the auto box too - depending on the sun/planet and clutch pack arrangement...You may want to read up on them as power delivery is handled differently. One clutch is typically odd gears and the other even gears. In a DCT you can be in the next desired gear without being in it per se. It is just waiting to be engaged to the drivetrain but already engaged on the motor side. Torque delivery can be pretty much uninterrupted due to the arrangement.
there are some downsides, but for a track car, the gains far outweigh the losses.
