So I have to resort to ABS turned to 1. The only car that it did kinda of work without ABS was a Suzuki Cappuccino. Sorry if I was rude.
Don't worry, I say a lot of rude shit and I value fact/proof over spoken opinion. Unlike GTP that seems "likes" or popularity of an opinion trumps proven facts.
Your problem is hardware then, not poor driving needing assist.
Its also not so much about everybody, but more focused on the elite, the best of the best. They shouldn't be using assist, if they do they are not elite, not the best of the best. Full no assist just to qualify.
Hardware issues aside
If people used ABS lets say only on cars that have ABS IRL & not on cars that don't that's cool, but most who use ABS use it on every car even the classics before ABS time.
Myself building a Track Car out of a Street car requires ABS off unless the racing class I'm building the car to spec for allows ABS, and not many do.
Cars built to a real world spec should follow that spec. Take SCCA Spec Miata, no ABS allowed and the cars built to spec are in the 400pp range not needing ABS anyways.
