question to me.
who is using throttle help and braking help, and what tracks do you use them
on
personally I use throttle help on and braking assist off all tracks
...........sometimes it gets a bit hairy on entry to the
parabolica.......come to think of it on entry to most bends on most
tracks...LOL

TURN IT OOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFF
Unless you are playing GPL with keyboard or a digital joypad I guess..
But really, the only way to fully enjoy GPL is to use an analogue
device (a wheel and pedals would be best ofcourse) and to turn all
those help thingies off. In the end it will make you a much faster
driver!!

Since one cannot even properly steer the car without full throttle control
I'd advise turning it off soonest. . . and learning to drive all over again.

i got to agree with the other 2 here, Throttle control doesnt help at all,
its not like its 2001 traction control.
GPL help is a hinderance, not a benefit.

Are you claiming it's "benefit" in real F1...;)

I would avoid using either driving aid, they adversely affect the
performance of the car, and prevent you learning to control the car.  Of
course, they can keep you on the road, but I'm sure you'd rather learn to
keep the car on the road yourself.
