Going back to what Rapier Racer said he thought he read...
I thought I read that too!

Unfortunately I don't remember who posted what I thought I read.

I do not think Pilot assist should be allowed in any uploaded times or of course during online racing - if it's for beginners, than it should be turned off once they're done in "practice mode".

Of course opinions are a dime a dozen, and gas is expensive these days...
