BR7: Skid Recovery Force mandatory?

Is this just for the bonus races or does it affect all the seasonal races? Before the update (yet to play since) I was having fun in the FR event with a Toyota FT-86 trying to control the oversteer with all aids switched off on stock tyres... it appears that I have a rather heavy right foot.

It looks like it is just the new bonus races. Just checked one of the new FF events and SRF is optional as normal.
The forced SRF on the bonuses is a bit disappointing though. Was hoping for more splendid Immaculate Challenges from amar and his friends but the SRF makes the events a lot less enjoyable from my POV.
On the positive side, it must be a mistake. They surely couldn't have thought this was a good idea and done it on purpose. I'm optimistic that normal service will be resumed in the next batch of events.

It's also locked on for the Z race at Madrid. I was looking forward to some sideways action in that race too, but SRF completely neutered my car. Hopefully it'll be removed for the next set of events.
wierd, i had SRF on too, but i could slide around easily with sport/hard tyres.
Did anyone notice that the '07 350Z exhaust sounds wierd? like it's cutting out a bit?

Don't know what you people are talking about. No SRF when I did the race. My RX-7 was sliding all over the place
me too! i loved it

It would really surprise me if your game is one of the few that would allow SRF to be turned off, so I think you just pushed the car way too far and even SRF couldn't keep it from spinning
It must have been a mistake, although I sometimes think PD puts something in an update to see how the community reacts to it.

The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that this is a strategic move on PD's part. And a damned smart one at that. Maybe Kazu-san has been watching some 'Wag the Dog' recently.

I honestly thought at first that it was a mistake, until I remembered they already did this also on licences.
I don't get it. Is this the way PD wants us, by default, to play the game...?
whiners. I doubt this is going to be a permanent fixture in the BRs... Remember the BRs are PD created with the idea of providing a different type of driving experience outside of the norm you guys are probably accustomed to.
Just play what they give you. Its been different every time, whiners.

You don't know any more about this than anyone else.
Instead of calling people names which is against forum rules, maybe try forming a post that expresses your opinion without sounding like a troll? Is that too difficult? Or is that too much to ask?

It's the 3rd rule on the list. Do you think calling a thread full of GTP forum members discussing a race setting "whiners" violates that or any other forum rule?
Oh, and don't tell me how to play GT5, I'll play it anyway I want to. It's none of your business if I want to use SRF or any other setting. If people want to talk about it and you don't like it, quit reading the thread.

Has anyone confirmed it's actually on? When you run a race where the option is enabled and you choose On you will notice it because it has a very obvious effect on the car's handling. I haven't seen this happen yet in BR7s I have completed, I'm thinking it's just grayed out as On but the option itself is entirely disabled. Unless I'm so good at rough tuning new purchases or minimum tunes now the car has enough control not to be affected by SRF, but I'm doubting it.
It's definitely ON, as I experimented with three differently powered and tuned RX-7 on the Eifel track and they all behaved similarly.
I tried a fully tuned FD3S with stock turbo (but otherwise all other options upgraded) with Comfort Soft tires, and I could not get the car to drift if my life depended on it. Oversteer is noticeably absent, so I assume SRF is definitely on...
Decided to pump it up to mid RPM turbo, and the same results; couldn't initiate a drift or experience any oversteer.
I then tried a modestly tuned FC, which was going sideways through each corner in a previous bonus race (Deep Forest), and this beast handled like a 4WD with super sticky tires..

From my experience I'd say the car is handling normally, usually with SRF you see the rear wheels start to slip, briefly skidding sideways, followed by a corrective push to the car which is quite noticeable. If you don't see this initial slide before the corrective push I doubt the feature is on. On the other hand, the patch could have changed the behavior of the SRF.
The angled banking on Eifel negates a lot of the natural tendencies towards drifting and other cornering issues.

You would think that for a game promoting itself as a driving simulator the reverse would be occuring; ie having events where it is mandated that the SRF is off. Otherwise, how are some people ever going to learn ?

SRF is definitely on. I cant feel the car at all; it's absolutely horrible. I find it much harder to drive with SRF on because cars don't behave like cars any more. I think it blunts your skills as a driver because it explicitly rewards bad driving, so other than license tests I'm not going to drive in any event with SRF on.
I just don't understand why they would do this. Hopefully it was a mistake and they'll fix it, because as it is now I can't stand to drive in any of those races.
