Default What in-game settings you use?

... not sure there is a thread for this already, but I am curios how other people configure their driving experience.

My Settings:
Driving View: Cockpit (on single monitor)
Mirrors: On, Virtual
Driving aids: All off
ForceFeedback: On, low (Logi Momo Force, red)
Clutch: auto (although just started practising with a button & manual)
Seat position: pretty much full forward
Visible steering wheel: Off (usually)
Gears: manual (flappy paddle change)
[Edit] Wheel rotation: 240º, usually between 18 and 22

Driving View: Varies depending on Game. Usually Race 07 is Hood, GTL & rF is cockpit
Mirrors: On, usually Virtual
Driving aids: All off
ForceFeedback: On, low, usually about 80%
Clutch: Usually auto but occasionally manual in GTL
Seat position: depends on car and view.
Visible steering wheel: On for GTL, off for Race 07 (have to reduce graphic load for race 07)
Gears:Usually paddle for Race 07, sometimes sequential for GTL

Many of my options for Race 07 are because I have to heavily reduce the graphic load in Race 07, my PC can't cope with full options. I even run Race 07 in 16 bit mode to keep FPS up.

Thanks all, interesting to read and compare (in a sad muppet geeky kinda way )

The manual clutch in mini intrigues me a bit ... is there a simple explanation?

And ... I wanna know why Attila hasn't posted up his settings here yet, reckon he is scared that we will find out he uses the driving aids !!??

Driving View: Cockpit
Mirrors: On, Real
Driving aids: All off

Seat position: average
Visible steering wheel: On
Gears: manual all the way.. sequential H box or paddles whatever is most realistic in the car I'm driving ;)
Wheel Rotation: 900 degrees and 33° steering lock or if 33° not possible 520° and 23° steering lock

Mirrors: On, Real
Driving aids: All off
ForceFeedback: On, Med, 65% (G25)
Clutch: manual
Seat position: I adjust this depending on the car
Visible steering wheel: On
Gears: manual, always unless in a open wheel.
Wheel Rotation: I go back and forth because there is so much discussion on this. I have used 240 and 540. Typically 23 lock. Currently on 540 however I don't see a use for that much rotation most of the time.
