Is there an automatic transmission?

No car with automatic gear, but you can set it as assist option but not advisable, shift braking is needed and automatic shifting will not allow that also it is not always better to upshift fast.

Well I only have a controller so I don't know if shifting would work well. People on YouTube and Reddit are saying you can't play the game with a controller and everyone will hate you if you do.

I don't even care about playing online. I just want to play single player if there is enough content for that. So I think I should be able to play with a controller.

I started with a controller, it took some time getting used to but it was managable. Still this game is mostly meant for a wheel and pedals setup

You can use Automatic but it's kind of wonky. It doesn't downshift to the gear that it should and you'll be slower. If you want to use Automatic just use your ears and you'll have to manually downshift on some of the cars when you're going through a slower corner.

You can drive and be fast with controller and use manual shift, just need practice.

Good, I think I'll try the game when I get paid this weekend. I've never used a wheel on any games. I don't have a place where I can set one up, and I'm more comfortable with the controller anyway.

Is there a enough single player content to keep going for a while?

I dont have much space myself:

It is the same space I would use for my computer + chair, still if it is to return to gamepad I rather not play any sim.

Especially when you play solo/offline, you will be fine with a controller. Your times likely won't be "up there", but who cares if you only race the AI... just adjust them to a skill level that works for you.

You might need to at least know how to shift down and back up in order to reverse... so at least have keys handy for that, in case you need to back up sometime.

I bought into this game early on (when there was only 1 car and 1 track) expecting a spiritual successor to GTR2 with all it's singleplayer functionality to come out of it.

No, singleplayer is barebones and the AI is braindead.

If you mean "content enough to practice and improve your driving", yes.
If you mean "career and interesting AI" then no.

i play with dualsense and i don't have an issue. i've even come across a keyboard player who does pretty well considering.

The assisted transmission backshifts too late to use engine braking properly. Shame it can't be adjusted.
