If folks are going to enter competitive multiplayer, they do not need cheats like TCS or ABS. The game doesn’t need to drive their car for them. The amount of people using these is staggering and they’re particularly effective for high power cars. Rivals global leaderboards are littered with people using cheats! That doesn’t make any sense.
Obviously, we all know the penalty system doesn’t work. The best thing would be to enable damage, with a heavy bias towards front end, so that people actually get a feel for racecraft and don’t just dive inside and use everyone as a backboard with no repercussion constantly. About 85% of every lobby the people are clueless (that’s ok) and there’s no incentive to learn. (That’s not ok)
