I hear you but I also feel that some of what you say is not really true.
You say you do this for the fun of it yet you mention that your slow time is "More Realistic" and you feel the need to justify it by the fact that you are using no aids. If you are proud of it then just say so, you do not need anyone else's approval if you are confident in yourself and your results. Also do you try to better your slow time? The reality is it is not a slow time and you know that.
Also how is sliding and losing traction unrealistic? There are plenty of times when I am driving in real life that I lose traction or slide. I guess suddenly my driving has become unrealistic. Sliding and losing traction are not unrealistic. They are a result of pushing the boundaries and sometimes going beyond. A game just allows us to push them without fear of the consequences. That is what people are doing in the game. Since you do not slide and lose traction when driving in real life how do you know that the behavior of the car when it looses traction and slides in the game is unrealistic?
I am glad you set your own rules and are loving it. Just stop making a big deal about people who do not play to your rules.
My time is kind of slow compared to thousands others on the TT
No justification needed, I never use any assists, even in the last year GTA or in GT5, it's been my play style since I first play GT5. You can be proud of your time ( slow or fast ), regardless of using assists or not, it's your hard work, your sweat mate. In the Silverstone TT, I strive to drive smoother and as fast as I could within boundaries that I adhere to ( avoid hitting curb, loses traction or slide intentionally ) What's with being different is making a big deal and getting called for asking approval ?
I don't need approval from anyone about my time or how I drive, when did I say that ? I drive the
way I see as more realistic with a 370z using street legal semi slick tire ( SH ) on a track ( Silverstone ) in real life where a driver
will avoid losing traction or slide - bad for the tires and hurt your time. I am proud of the way I drive and even it's slower compared to others who's faster - simple concept.
My original post that you replied to :
If you drive like in real life, that is to avoid sliding or loss of traction, the demo is okay and pretty fun for free run That's how I drive naturally, which is why I only have 2:22.3xxx - no assist, no sliding+good ol' smooth clean entry and exit ( no curb cutting )
I never said sliding or losing traction unrealistic, stop putting words in my mouth. I'll explain more now :
I referred to the way drivers exploit the mechanics in GTA to get better times.
I often loses traction when driving in street in real life ( intentional + accidental ), and I lose grip + speed immensely as a result. On a track like Silverstone, I don't believe that the same driving style in the top GTA drivers will work in real life ( providing advantage to gain time on slow corners )
If I were to drive in real life at Silverstone with 370Z in a GTA race camp, I would not intentionally slide the rear on slow corners + uses handbrake or not try to avoid rear loss of traction in my quest of better lap times - the instructor and judges would kill me. Oh, the real race camp 370z has no ABS too. I'm trying to emulate that
I am just taking different approach in doing the TT as I don't compete for the finals, and I don't enforce this to others who wanted to get into the finals. Their choice, you choice mate, play whatever you deemed realistic for you

I don't mind with my slow lap times, I am proud of it I drove the way I want to, the way I like, the way I deemed realistic, it gave me joy, lap time is secondary as I did the TT for the driving enjoyment - I'm not eligible for GTA anyway.
Hitting the curbs to gain advantage is a choice If you want to compete for the finals, you have to use whatever inches of road/curb available without getting red, and use whatever assists available to make you faster. This is also why people try to find the physics unique traits, and exploit it to their advantage - if that means sliding on slow corners gives that badly needed miliseconds gain, so be it.
For myself, I set my own rules, a nice clean lap that would not look out of place in a Best Motoring onboard video , pretend I am Nakaya-san doing car review lap with the tuned 370Z at Silverstone and I am loving it, spent many laps without worrying the times, just enjoying the physics and driving dynamics.
I don't need any approval for my driving style mentioned above, just like all other aliens and top 32 who uses different driving style ( slides ). When they wrote on these kind of threads, saying others that aliens are simply faster with their driving style, to drive more or suck it up and get better, are they asking for approval of their methods or superior talents ? No, they simply stated their view, their way of playing and opinion, nothing wrong and definitely fine.
Your last sentence : Man, I never make a big deal of anything, did I ? I posted something about my own way of playing the demo. Did I even mentioned others with different rules of play in that post ? Maybe it's you
This will be my last reply on the matter, I originally replied to VBR for his view on the GTA demo. I got to drive some more of the demo, enjoy the cars the way I see fit
The physics are just wrong, I'm not gonna go into details, but they're not very realistic. Suffice to say that I won't be playing it again. 👎
