If I am to hammer on about an issue such as RS tyres, SRF and other aids, my intention would be more to spreed and share the very different feeling and sensation that you get by forbidding the above, especially to those that are stuck in their ways by ONLY using RS tyres and using all aids/auto/etc.
This is not to say that using the above eliminates fun, it just creates a different type of fun. In my opinion, it creates a less realistic feel, but you can still have a good time with it. I do happen to think that switiching everything off and running on stock tyres provides a more exhilarating experience, however. It's the feeling of total freedom and control, and the feedback you get from the game (especially with a wheel) that tickles my gentleman's bits, rather than a more 'on the rails' feel by having all aids on and RS tyres.
I don't understand why some people get so defensive about using RS tyres and aids and simply refuse to play the game any other way. By trying it and learning how the physics vastly change, you never know, you might grow to like it more like most of the other guys who will never look back again.
I still join the occasional high PP, RS's with SRF enabled rooms every now and then, but it's not for me. I suppose some of us "elitist" just want other people to share the great experience that can be had and not be so stubborn as to stick to one method of getting through the game. I whizzed through the game's offline portion and spent my first few months online by maxing out my cars and slapping on racing slicks on to everything, and regret doing so now, I missed out on a lot by doing so.
I do agree that there is such a thing as dragging it out too much, however, but this debate wll probably never die.
When I 1st practice no ABS, I did put RS tires on some cars that hard to tame, RS tires is harder to lock up, another benefit besides super grip.
