What do we think about driving aids? Everything off? Only traction control and ABS (on low)? Anything goes? Car/Mod/Track dependent?

I leave everything off, but I only use cars/mods that didn't use any IRL.
 
I only use auto-clutch and ABS. I'd be fine with using low ABS.

Same here (as my Wheel & Pedal set lacks an actual clutch pedal).
 
We'll make it easy and allow whoever is choosing the combo to also choose the driver aids being used in that particular combo, unless there is a huge protest against that anyways. So I'll start off.. I'll use the Enduracers Endurance series mod this week, seeing as most of us have it all ready.

Week 1
2011-Porsche-911-GT3-Cup-7.jpg

Mod: Endurance Series by Enduracers
Car: Porsche 911 GT3 Cup/GTC (Flat 6 GTC)
Track: Road America (Neel Jani)
Driver Aids: All off, Traction control and ABS on low
​

Rules:
1. Please respect all track boundaries
2. Lap only in private testing (No A.I. cars)
3. Please make sure you're using the right track and car combo
4. A screenshot is required for a time to count, a video will do as well but that is optional.
5. Respect the "gentlemen's rule" and be honest
6. Please provide the link to both the track and mod/car being used

*All entries must be submitted by Sunday at 5:00 PM Eastern time. Any entries submitted or changed after this will be ignored. The winner has until 5:00 PM Eastern the following day (Monday) to select the next combo and either do as I have, or setup the information for the week themselves.*

Shouldn't we make a new thread? Might also get more attention.
Downloading the 2.1 patch now, haven't done it so far.
Curious how I'll end up against all you wheel users.

EDIT: Do I have to use the aids? Would prefer none.
 
You don't have to no, but they might help a bit with lap time wouldn't they?
 
I'm usually quicker without, car's more predictable for me then.
 
I didn't make a new thread because I figured the small community of Rfactor drivers we have on here checks this one already.. Or am I just better off making a new one?
 

Entry for the GTPlanet.net rFactor hotlap challenge.
Time: 2:14.213
Controller: DualShock 3
Aids: None except auto-clutch (car's sequential anyway)
Car: Flat6 GTC
Mod: Enduracers Endurance Series 2.1
Track: Elkhart Lake (Road America) '08 v2.0 by Neel Jani
 
Anyone else? :D
Need to install the Flat_6 mod first, but will try.
Ok. Gave it a go 2:26.xxx
Car is nice but, way more power and way more grip, than is my liking.

My lap. I can post a video if requested.

 
Going to try to crank a lap out this weekend...
 
After beating the fastest P1 race lap from the ALMS race at Road America, I'm feeling pretty good about this. About to do my attempt, then record it (though I may just screenshot it since I'm also about to start on mah tribute video).
 
Nice, finally some competition! Now I know what my lap's worth, so I can improve further on it.
 
Got down to 2:20.632, then a crash. Might try again later.
 
Okay, the girly helpers (:P) are really the quicker way:

After posting the crappy time I did, I'm starting to think the same:

2'13.494

I'll link it since it's a large image. That's probably the best I'll manage at Road America with this car. Barely managed a clean lap, which is typically how I get around RA.
 
Yup. Nice lap!
 
I felt that I could go quicker, but the motivation... :D
 
Does anyone use the srf1 1994 mod? I'm having trouble getting my wheel to work right with it. (Wheel is a dfgt)

Also, any tips on learning how to set up the cars? Thanks guys
 
Umm, I can't get the wheel rotation right. It either only takes around 100deg for lock to lock or 900 deg (actual wheel input)
 
Anyone here watch FSR? (Formula Sim Racing).
Found it about a year ago, seems to be a very good pro league :)
They're hoping to switch from rFactor to rFactor 2 next year, but they seem to be having some difficulties with the mod.

I say I'm going to follow it every year, but I never end up doing so. Those guys are FAST.
