Stages like 4.4 are why learning no assists driving is so helpful. Assists are what is make it hard. You need to be able to slide around and power into corners in a stage like this. If not, the other car will just drive off. I will explain assist by assist:

Traction Control. It will put on the brakes whenever you get loose. You can get loose and still fast be very fast. This is one of the biggest speed killers. I couldn't imagine having traction on well I am shoving Magnus out of his race line and it brakes for me because I'm sliding. Doesn't work.

Brake assist. This is the other big speed killer. It brakes when you don't need brakes at all. It also won't let you drive fast into corners. There's no way I could power into a corner and slam into Magnus with this assist slowing me down.

Steering assist. In that me trials it's fine, even good. When racing cars, high will limit your lane choices. The assists will try and force you into the chosen race line. If you go off track by accident it will waste all sorts of time as you get back on. SA low with a slightly higher sensitivity will make it easier.

I love mixing it up with Magnus and found this stage to be a lot of fun.
