I tried it on Le Mans with a heavily upgraded Aston and it brakes you too late and you go off track. Therefore its serving no purpose. On the corners where it did brake early enough I was far slower than my manual breaking (especially the 1st corner on Red Bull Ring). People think it's a type of safety net... "if I forget to brake it will catch me". I used to think that. But it's wrong. As you say, it often brakes too late and sometimes you go off-track. OR... you lose a bunch of time braking far too late into the corner and sometimes skidding. Then people think they must put TC back on... but traction wasn't the problem. You only got loose because you were braking so late! This all makes moving to no assists harder since you have all the wrong braking points.

Worse yet, SA low will brake in some shallow corners were you can always run flat out, such as many Hockenheimring and Silverstone tracks. Thuse you lose a lot of time.

There are places I have used it in long WTTT tracks when I'm just not sure. After the long downhill straight at Spa as you approach the final 2 corners, it is reasonably accurate in that braking point. Also at Nurburgring approaching the last chicane (close to start/finsh). I hate those 2 corners in WTTT, often blew a good run there. I used to turn it on just for those corners. Although this week in the T2 I didn't even think about it. Brutal lap though! Slightly wrong line or braking point and you are sl-i-i-i-i-i-i--i-i-i-ding off-track.
