Active Stability Management will add/remove power from each wheel depending on amount of grip. It's an attempt to keep the car straight and balanced.
Skid Recovery Force is the hand ofGod Kaz stepping in to keep you from spinning when you've exceeded the limits of what the stability management can do.
ASM is supposed to mimic a real world system. SRF is a fabricated nanny device for people who don't know how to drive near the limits.

SRF kinda increases the grip factor between your tires and the road(unrealistically) if you want something realistic in terms of assists you're better off with ASM, it also uses the brakes on each wheel as well as adjusting the power

SRF is useful for my 6 year old, so he doesn't get so frustrated he'll never learn how to use the racing simulator I built. It does have it's uses, just not a realistic devise for those of us that love the real feel. I think an adult Noob should start without it.

I quite enjoy trying to drive on the edge without invoking the ASM. I drive an RX8 in real life and the feel of ASM is very similar to driving with the DTC on. It brakes the corresponding wheels and reduces power to cover any slippage; this makes it quite hard to deliver the most power from the car without the ASM hampering you

If you want to have some fun,take a stock car,turn off all aides except ABS 1. Put some CS, SS tires on and drive the car. You will learn a lot more about the car doing that. SRF, TC, and all the others are just like training wheels for your kid,s bike.Once you take them off, your kid would never use them again.

SRF is like a magnet force that will help you to keep the car glued to the ground when you try to reach the limits. In GT6 SRF power has been reduced a lot compared to GT5, thankfully. In GT5 it was just ridiculous.
To me its the only aid that will actually allow you to go faster, well, besides ABS. Its a good aid to have if you like to play the game in a more arcadeish way (obviously not everybody likes to play the game as realistically as possible)

By "hand of god/Kaz", you mean the fact that it adds grip to the tires once they start sliding. That's why it's the one driver aid that I never allow in my racing lobbies.
It's also why I'm furious with PD for them letting people use it on time trials. Completely ruins them because it's such an advantage. I refuse to use it.

ASM is too limiting. It limits what you can do with the car like TCS but in a different way.
The only driver aid that is helpful without giving an advantage like SRF is active steering. Active steering simply makes your steering inputs smoother. It doesn't steer for you, it doesn't change how the car handles, it just corrects your inputs without completely holding your hand. It's especially good if you're having trouble using a joystick to steer the cars or if you're using a steering wheel for the first time.
The good thing is the car still feels realistic. It's very subtle unlike the other aids.
It's not something I use, I haven't needed it in years but it's the only driver aid I recommend for noobs.
I figured. I just wanted to clarify exactly what it does for the thread creator.
