There are some more unique assists also such as trailing throttle and down shift protection. These allow the game to handle some more advanced techniques for you.

Below is an overview of what each assist in Project Motor Racing does.

• Racing Line
  The racing line assist will let you see the ideal racing line while driving. It will project a racing line in red and green onto the track for you to follow.
• Traction Control
  Traction control is designed to make it easier to accelerate without spinning your rear wheels. Some cars have this in Project Motor Racing, such as the GT3 cars, while others do not have it. However, you can enable it for every car if you want an easier driving experience.
• ABS
  The ABS will prevent you from locking the brakes when braking too hard. Much like traction control, you can enable this only for cars that do have it in real life, such as the GT cars, or enable if for every car.
• Auto Clutch
  The automatic clutch will pull the clutch in so you don’t have to. This is ideal for making standing starts easier, as well as preventing the need to press the clutch pedal when changing gear in any of the manual cars in Project Motor Racing.
• Auto Cut
  The automatic cut assist will cut the throttle during moments when the car would over rev, specifically during gear shifts in some cars.
• Auto Blip
  Auto blip will automatically blip the throttle on downshifts, imitating a traditional heel-and-toe technique.
• Down Shift Protection
  Down shift protection prevents you from downshifting too fast. It will block downshifts if you would cause damage to the gearbox.
• Transmission
  You can choose to set the transmission to automatic or manual, depending on whether you wish to change gears yourself or let the game handle gear changes.
• Pit Limiter
  The pit limiter assist will help automatically enable and disable the pit limiter as you enter and exit the pitlane.
• Pit Box Indicator
  The pit box indicator highlights where your specific pit box is, making it easier to find while pitting.
