Practise will always make you better, but to be competitive without steering
help you need a steering wheel. You can then even drive faster than people
that use steering help, although one circuits suits this better than the
other. IMO a joystick is too 'nervous' to drive consistently without SH.
I take it flat out in 6th gear, but this is with keyboard and thus with
steering help. I use the kerb on the right to determine the turn in point.

I have seen this question asked befroe, and it remained unanswered, but just how
do you switch steering help off ... is it a part of the automated gear change/braking
setup?

Agreed! It's a complete new sim when you turn it off!
Going back to steering help, it feels like cheating when you can drive
over the grass!
Certainly. It will probably take you a month or so to get competitive
again, I would think.
Most peope soon start equalling them after a bit of practise. The
hottest NSA lappers are not more than 0.5s or so behind the SA hotlaps
in the Compuserve league..
Use a wing differential of 15 to 20 instead of 25-ish for SA to stop
you having massive oversteer (or is it understeer?). I also use a
couple of points of front bias to produce understeer, to make braking
and turning into corners much more stable.
Not raced there yet, so I cannot help!
