As the test patch thread and forum was closed, let's move the discussion here (as advised by Scawen).
So why or why not should the automatic handbrake be removed?
Removed would basically mean that the handbrake wouldn't be disengaged once you shift up from neutral and apply throttle. You had to push down the handbrake key (or lift up a lever) and then release it to release the brake. Handbrake could still be engaged at the start for safety and prevent rolling while you are not control of your car while lagging.
The point of course is that it would be more realistic to release the brake yourself, and making starts maybe a tad more challenging.
The counter argument is that it would lead to massive havoc on the grid and thus adding realism would remove fun.
But I can't help thinking if this is even relevant in this part of development when clutch and engine models are not even complete and you can't even stall the engine. Not even to mention not having warm-up laps.
What do you think?
