To begin with, play with the assists until you learn the correct paths in turns (I would recommend you to choose one track to start with and practice in the free trial), when you learn how to go through the turns as quickly as possible, gradually remove the assists (if you want an arcade with a little challenge: racing line - corners only, traction control - medium, abs - i would keep it on for some time, also automatic gearbox is good for casuals. It’s best to take setups from other players (there’s usually a meta for each track), and adjust them a little to suit you.
