Hi,
I’m a long time Forza with controller player, and I’ve got a Thrustmaster T300 RS GT Edition (no stick shift) coming tomorrow that I plan to use across various games on PC, including FM7. It’s been a long time since I’ve raced with a wheel and can’t seem to find an answer to this question:
Given that I use clutch + manual on controller, will I need to do the same with a wheel to get better lap times, even though I will be using paddles to shift?
I assume switching to manual no clutch will slow me down slightly? Just seems a bit weird having to use a clutch peddle with paddle shifters.
Thanks!

In terms of the game configuration settings, yes manual with clutch is faster than manual without clutch, however my experience is that the smoother driving you can get with a wheel when cornering will more than make up for not enabling the “clutch” mode. Try with a car you know well with both settings and see if there is a quantifiable difference for your driving style
I’m not sure it would work but on the thrustmaster TX on the xbox if you held the program button and A which would be X on your wheel it would automatically use the clutch which is assigned to the A button when you used the paddles to up or down shift. Theres a few of these types of functions for the TX which is the same as the t300, one of which is to keep the fan on all the time which I suggest you do, I don’t remember the buttons but you can look it up.
I switched from the Thrustmaster TMX to the Logitech G293.
Both Wheels used the “B” button for the Clutch.
Using Manual Only Seemed to be slower.
On the high-powered cars, I don’t think you need the Clutch button
Good luck with the Wheel!
