I only turn it off when I need a little extra in Weekly Time Trials. Otherwise I always have it on and I'm still pretty fast. I race with Steering high, brakes low, TC on and Tilt A and steering sensitivity 3. Some people race horrible lines and rely on TC. I try to always race the best lines but use TC to just make it less like work.

There are certainly many advantages and it is closer to real racing with it off. With all assists off you can drive off track way easier and take advantage of many shortcuts. Also, if you accidently go off track you can get back on WAY faster. As well, the car is faster! Even when you drift some corners, you can come out faster then with it on.

A big advantage for having it on is that it is harder for bots to wreck you. Also minor hits won't send you flying off the track. When you lose traction you need to actually stear to where you are sliding while keeping the brakes on. Then let off the brakes ASAP and resume your corner. Next time at that corner brake a little early then lift in the corner. I only brake manually on 2 Le Mans corners in LMP1 cars. I brake a tad early and then lift for the corner.

It is very good to learn no assist driving for the many challenges we now face to win cars. Especially Ganutlet's! When the challenge says no touching or colliding, yet says nothing about off-track... I turn off assists and do a LOT of off track driving.
