Some interesting points.
As a rule of thumb I don't really mind people using aids because it improves accessibility, but yeah, a lot of aids are used as exploits nowadays. More server settings for allowing/banning certain stuff would be really good.
Have to say that having to manually adjust wheel rotation settings to match 1:1 is a major pet peeve of mine, and probably confuse newcomers as most sims do it automatically nowadays.
I too think that tyre warmers were a mistake but the cat is out of the bag, unless we get a major update that forces a board reset it's too late to go back.
Interesting part about ABS! It really changed road car racing a lot and I'm surprised it isn't brought up so often.
On a slight tangent driver aids isn't the only source of unrealistic driving, the forgiving damage model is an issue. Being able to slap walls at South City or tyres at Fern Bay lap after lap and suffer no consequences doesn't feel right.
