Of course they matter, they make the skill required to complete a lap a non-level playing field. While you or I might be able to control the power of some cars without things like traction control, others may not, and just having the game do it is an unfair advantage overall, even if that can ultimately make you slower. ABS makes a *massive* difference in how fast/safely you can stop a car in PCars, and is a huge advantage technically over not having it.
Damage isn't irrelevant, there are some sections of track where if you choose to cut a corner in some way it would cause enough damage to make a difference to a car's performance, that's a risk that shouldn't be negated by cheesing it with no damage. The lap needs to be clean
Might not seem *as* relevant in something like an EVO, but when it comes to things like Open Wheel classes there are definitely some gouda level cheese cuts to be made with damage off which isn't cool. Granted, if you screw the car, you'll probably restart it, which is fine and expected, but it's another level playing field type of thing.I just double checked driving model, it sounds like this is mostly left over from development (which is why I thought it still made a difference) apparently all it does now is set the level and amount of assists on by default, so ultimately it's just a sign of what assists you had it set to when you booted up I guess. That site shows assists so ultimately it doesn't matter really
(But it used to, which is why I flagged it).Nice laptime
