It was the frst thing I ditched early in the career as I saw no need for it-  the TC and braking I can see the use of (eg: I drive with TC 99% of the time and I only found a use for braking control on rare events where you must follow behind a car 50m or 100m), but the steering control - is it because it prompts you to turn the car as late as possible into a turn? (without any cost to speed)

I find the steering high give a more stable and easier car to drive, therefore less skidding and more consistency. I also find it's easier to run a clean lap, on track, so less damage is taken. Finally I try to win by the smallest margin, so I start with steering high, but if things are getting tight I'll turn steering to low, there is a slight lap time advantage, as the turns can be entered sharper (one thing I've noticed is to turn and dab the brake, the car turns quicker), the corner can be cut more and the steering straightened quickly to give better speed out of corners, as long as traction isn't broken. As soon as the car skids speed is lost all the dawn the straight.

My normal race mode is steering low, brakes low, tc on. It comes down to a matter of preference, the fastest way to race is to learn every car's braking point on every track and run with all assist off, personally I can't put the time in to do that, so I compromise some speed, but still have no problems winning races against bots :)
