I converted to cockpit view about a month ago and don't think I cold ever go back to T-cam view, I think would probably be slower. Initially I was a bit fearful of converting from T-cam but managed to get used to the lower view, I actually find it easier to get references for the braking and apexes. Probably the Mclaren and Williams are the easiest cars to pick up the cockpit view.

I use T-cam and have the AI difficulty on Legend, the TCS on full Damage on,fuel sim off, ABS on, racing line for corners only, Automatic gears,Pits etc.. i do have Tyre ware on and run races at 30% on long race weekends, i also dont mess with the setups apart from quick set ups from Good ol' Rob the pit man!. I have done 3 races in my first career for virgin and come 2nd, 3rd and 9th.. do you think i have the assists on too high??

I would recommend you try some of the set ups in the set up thread. I've found that I'm a few seconds quicker than the default set up. Look at Bram's set ups, I find his amongst the best.

Thanks for that, will have a little look see tonight!

360 Wheel, Pro AI, all aids off except auto transmission and currently moving towards manual gears. All fuel/tire wear on, full damage, NO REWINDS.

When i first started playing i left EVERYTHING on, TCS, ABS - everytihng.
After 2 seasons with Sauber i joined Red Bull and slowly taught myself how to race without TCS or ABS.
I turned TCS to 'medium' and went through a season with that.
Then, when i joined Mclaren, i turned off TCS and ABS completely.
This is now how i ALWAYS race.

I reckon you should try turning TCS off (or atleast to medium) do what i did and slowly teach yourself how to race without TCS or ABS.
Maybe bring down the difficulty a little when learning.
even though i did most of my 'practicing' online, where it didn't really matter how i raced.

In my view it is better to learn to drive without TCS/ABS even if it means slowing dowm the (AI) opposition level. As you master it you can always speed them up, but your learning curve will be better.
I did 1 season starting with TCS but gradually deleted it only using it in full wet conditions.
One post here had good advice: If you are thrashing your team mate its time to drop some assists. If there are none left then it is you thrashing him (poor Jarno)

Eh, IMO time trial is a lot better to learn than online. Too many players ram you constantly and you'll never have much room to learn because you're too busy defending yourself.

Oh God! dare I say anything? I must be so rubbish at this game.
Playing on Xbox 360 with pad. level is set to intermediate.
I have fuel and tyre sims on, Pit lane stuff all on auto.
Autobrakes - off, manual gears, traction control on. ( I have tried turning it off, really, I have but I can't get through a lap without spinning out several times. However slowly I take it )
ABS may be on or it may be off. I cant make up my mind and keep fiddling with it from race to race
I don't have any neon lines on the track. They were just plain annoying and nowhere near as helpful as the ones in forza.
50% races from the cockpit view. Driving a virgin. I have won a couple of races and currently 9th in the WDC. Suzuka is the next race. Yes I am thrashing my team mate, but I don't think he has actually finished a race.
Difficulty level feels good to me if a bit unrealistic as far as virgin's performance is concerned.
