Restabilizing your car

Sometimes when you earn a certain car after winning a series race, the ASM and TCS controller are automatically at level 0, which can make your car spin out easily because of understeering. You still can have the ability to restabilize your car by setting your ASM level to 10 and your TCS controller level to 5. This is how I found out when I tested my GT-ONE race car on the Rome Circuit.
 
I always put ASM and TCS to 0.

Otherwise, it's just the computer driving the car for you...

In races i leave it on as all other cars have it so it's only fair I do too... But when doing Run and Settings like yourself i leave it Off.

You know when you do turn it off is it just me or do some cars not allow you to turn it Off :confused: It's just in options it'll say it's off but when driving the ASM and TCS lights are still flashing....:rscared: ?

Hmmm.... I think that option is just for arcade mode. I think in Sim mode, the only way to disable it is per car.
 
The First thing I do with a new car is put ASM and TCS to 0. If it's a high power car, though, I might put TCS to 1 or 2.

Ditto. Actually I had been leaving both at 1 but I'm resetting all of my ASMs to zero. And I don't see any reason to assume that the AI cars have it on during races. It is true that it is on in the Time Trials, but I wonder what makes Deliverator say the AI drivers are stuck with it?
 
Same here... I only have ASM on in cars that are generous oversteerers, and TCS is usually 1 or 2 (which seems to be more effective than 0, just because it helps in during some hard times) Not to mention, most FR cars don't appreciate 0 TC. ;)
 
Steering wheel - no TCS, no ASM. I wish I could turn the ABS off. Just have to wait until TOCA Race Driver I suppose.

I dont think its too bad to use some TCS, F1 and CART drivers use it

...which is precisely why I'm not that interested in those forms of racing. Too much technology is too much. It does improve the ultimate performance a lot, but to me it removes a lot of the soul of the racing.

Not that F1 drivers aren't insanely skilled, because they are. I'm just more interested to watch a bunch of simpler, more realistic cars run the track - even if it is at half the speed.

I understand why you like the ASM and TCS @ zip, but why remove ABS? ABS is standard on almost any car in production.
 
i think he wants the driver to do as much of the driving as possible. im sure he would use power steering/brakes, but as for ABS, he can pump em in the snow by himself.

I watch NASCAR only twice a year - Sears Point (a track that I wish was in GT3) and Watkins Glen. Real racers turn left AND right!

I'm a big fan of amateur Showroom Stock and Improved Touring, and professional GT/TC racing. Not to mention WRC...

I don't really like open wheel racing for some reason. I even start to lose interest once you go to a tube frame. I just like cars that look like cars, or maybe cars that there is even a slight chance I could own some day.
 
People who can adapt their driving skills to a wide variety of formats and conditions. While I'm not arguing that NASCAR drivers are unskilled, I just find it a very specialized atmosphere, and not a very interesting one.

I think that drivers who work their way up through the ranks of roadracing are more flexible and adaptable than circle track drivers. Picking the correct line, dealing with traffic, and keeping smooth control at 200 mph on a banked oval takes skill, I admit.

I just don't think it takes as much skill as doing the same thing on a twisting course with lots of elevation changes.
