Also will using this give me quicker laptimes than with fully auto, as I
felt that it was holding me back quite a bit.

F1 drivers use auto right? I don't seem to see them shifting with the
in-car shots. I like auto-upshifts myself and found it did help with
lap times.
I tried auto but when ever I try to take a corner it would drop down
to 1st gear on turns that don't need to go that low.

Try auto upshift only, its much better, but still, its not as good as
manual. Since switching from manual to auto up, my lap times have
plumetted!
err... well, just see how you go.
Personally, I start changing down just after I start braking,
say from 7th gear down to 2nd, I tap the paddle 5 times repeatedly,
so the revs stay in the power band for accelerating out of the bend.
Watch a couple of in car laps from a formula 1 race, and listen to
how they downshift. They dont hang about :)
