Actually, the game without assists is far easier... it just tales a little practice to get used to. Take a few days of turning off all assists and setting steering sensitivity to 10 while using Tilt B which gives you manual acceleration and braking to practice. Don't only practice going around as smooth as possible. Practice CONTROLLED power sliding; this actually helps you learn how to not skid with TC off and how to recover from spins, etc. Pay attention to where your brakepoints are and how different cars sometimes need a bit more room. Find where on the track you can pick up a tenth, a few extra kph/mph on a straightaway...

In then end, you will find you are faster, race a better line, and the car responds to you, not to some programmer's idea of how it should go around the track. You will also find that these events are much easier.
