I play with keyboard and I have no issues with manual brakes. I mean, come on, even then you still only need to steer and pedal. I really consider turning off auto gears for the sake of realism. Also switching to a wheel, because the digital nature of the keyboard limits possibilities so much. Even with TC and steering help on and the excellent aids the programme has. I mean GP4 is really the only sim I tried which can be really driven well with keyboard. Every other needs a wheel. NR2003 and GPL is reasonably well-manageable with keyboard as well.
So, yeah, you can definitely switch of auto brakes. But do turn on TC and steering help, they help you a lot.
In terms of physics, I play with the original physics mostly as I use an untouched game to test my tracks. I'm fine with it, although I too can imagine the new 2011-2012 physics likely have so much more downforce.
