I've just started using a wheel. Good fun once I did about 20 laps and got used to it.

Couple of questions: is manual transmission faster than automatic ? If so, when is the optimal time to change gear....when revs are at the red or when the rev limiter kicks in ?

Is it quicker to switch off all driving aids.....assuming you can keep it on the track ?

Are there settings for the wheel ? All I can change is stength of feedback 1 to 10.

It's a driving force gt

to know when to change, check the cars specs in your garage
it will say x bhp @7600 or similar, change gear in or around that mark

i always have all aids off and i'm not sure bout the settings for the wheel

The higher the setting you have for traction control the more you're going to be slowed down through corners as TC limits the power you can use through a corner to try and prevent wheel spin. You'll be faster through corners with TC either off or at a low setting, provided you learn a bit of throttle control.
For something like the NASCAR races its best to drive with ALL aids off as you'll get crucified otherwise, especially in Daytona!
