Hi! I started to learn manual shifting and it’s fun, but I’m not sure how to determine the optimal RPM for shifting. Usually go to the max before the gear starts “choking” or like mid red zone. I noticed that in automatic the game shifts right before the red zone, but if I’m just replicating that what’s the point of manual? I read here and there that optimal shift points vary for different cars, but is there a tried and true method to determine what this point is for a particular car?
For most cars, a little into the redline is the best. For a few, they may make more power in the mid-range. The old school Subaru turbo for instance is a good early shift car. Use the telemetry to see your cars power in real time as you pull through the gears.

^^^ what Floppy said… but I would go even further and say learn manual w/clutch, its really not that much more and you’ll be able to change gears lightning quick.
