Well to be fair, GP4 doesn't really have "physics". It has cars on rails. You can drive it with your eyes closed and it'll get round the track 
In rfactor you can use the F keys on your keyboard to turn on driver aids to help with the controls.

i spent my first half of rfactor using keys, and there are few mods that you can really enjoy with keys.
because keys are digital
i then bought a gamepad, cheap, and use that atm because my wheel wont fit anywhere while iam at home lol.
but yeah good luck getting one of those bmw's round a lap with keys without spinning, even with a wheel its tough. i usually set my cars up to have alot of understeer.

First thing you should probably do is soften up that rear end, then work on the wings. But yeah, TC is a no brainer with keys lol!

but a car in real life, no way in hell does it spin as much as in rfactor. i play rfactor with force feedback wheel, but still need to turn on stability control, otherwise it is just too fake how slippery any car in any mod is. i can see why this is a problem on keyboard, in gp4 its on rails on keyboard, but thats how it should be with keyboard, you press one button to go, one to break, at least you still have to be precise with breaking, and i find on keyboard you get much slower lap times then with a wheel.

TIP:
rFactor has a feature called: Garage, with that, you can change a LOT of things to get rid of oversteer

Like has been said, espec with keyboard imo the very first thing you should do is soften up that rear end!

for me NR2003 is harder all way round, i find it very hard to keep the car at the limit for long periods of time. plus in rf i dont play it much, so when i get back into it i find in not that much off the pace.
rF sucks so much arse in oval racing its not funny.

The being able to go through the wheels is still abit gay, will this problem be fixed?
