Automatic gears, too, are barely useable, with painfully slow downshifts. I quickly knocked it all the way down to zero.
In fact, it muted the game's feel so much that it actually made it harder to drive well. I found the stability control deadened the handling to the point of dullness. It doesn't have much in the way of assists, and those it does have, you don't want turned on.

There are harder handling models to get to grips with than Assetto Corsa's, but still, only those interested in engaging with its full realism need apply. (One of the game's best features is the "factory" option for traction control and ABS, which sets these assists according to their installation on the real car this gives you the confidence that you're driving each car as its makers intended, and eliminates such silly anachronisms as driving a modern race car without traction control, or a vintage sports car with it.) When hotlapping, the game runs at the smooth 60 frames per second this type of game requires, but some race scenarios do challenge the frame-rate. A BMW Z4 GT3 race car, for example, offers such phenomenal grip and sophisticated traction control that it's unshakeable even north of 150mph, whereas the humble Alfa Romeo GTA's weak brakes, rolling suspension and twitchy rear can make driving the Nordschleife at speeds slower than your daily commute a hair-raising thrill. In fact, Assetto Corsa's simulation is so good that driving a slow car isn't necessarily easier or less involving than driving a fast one. There is no comparison between driving a firmly-sprung, front-wheel-drive Abarth 500 Corse in racing trim - a stubby little hatchback with a punchy, blunt response - and a mid-60s moon rocket like the Lamborghini Miura, which winds up to great speed through its long gears, but needs to be threaded through corners with the utmost delicacy. It's so tremendously mechanically articulate that each car in its garage takes on a life of its own. It has a very persuasive weight and will punish mistakes, but it's not jittery or overly severe.
Car physics simulations are a surprisingly subjective business, and everyone has their favourite, but few could find fault with the realism, detail and driveability (for want of a better word) of Assetto Corsa. Arriving on consoles after a successful couple of years on Steam, this release from Italian studio Kunos Simulazioni has already earned a reputation with the PC sim-racing crowd for the excellence of its handling model. Judged only on this criteria, Assetto Corsa is the best motorsport game around right now.
