I would suppose those race cars use sequential manual transmission, but if it's a radial race, probably is closer to GT4 spec.
Overall DCT would a better transmission since you don't have to worry about driver error, one variable down. I'm saying in some performance aspects, MT loses very little(downshift) or offers better(weight, gear ratio).
I don't think I've lost to any DCT in acceleration from 150km/h+, all else being identical; probably because final gear ratio is much shorter than DCT, so stays in peak power band for longer which is crucial at top speed. 4th~6th gear in E92 is basically a cross gear transmission.
