One thing I left out, thinking about it again is that Higher Steering Sensitivity will make the problems with Assists worse.

If you are on a high sensitivity, then you are more likely to make a move that will induce a skid, which will engage traction control. You can think of this as oversteer. You turn the nose so much that the rear wheels can no longer maintain their traction at a given speed and the back end starts to slide.

Also, with high sensitivity, it is more likely that you will steer off the game defined best line, so SA will fight you more.

Set your steering sensitivity too low, and you can think of it as understeer, where you can't get the nose of the car to turn enough and you go wide of your racing line. This can slow you down because you are running off the racing line and two, you have to turn more to get back on it, which means you can induce skid by overcompensating or you are fighting with SA.
