One goal I had but never listed here was learning "no assists" driving. I've now got that down. I generally run Tilt B now with SA low, sensitivity 4 and all else off. But for some races I switch to all off, sensitivity on 10 Tilt B, like when there are many off-track sections to run. I will run all off with Tilt A in the Porsche Endurance race because it conserves my energy when racing for 2+ hours! I can keep the clock full either running either way.

The following are my thoughts and tips on the different methods:

I used to ALWAYS run Tilt A BA low, SA high, TC on, sensitivity 4.

BA teaches you all the wrong braking points BA high greatly over-brakes while BA low brakes late. Learning to feather the throttle wasn't too hard since I used to feather the brakes when running Tilt A. Learning to coast and when to get in the throttle just comes with time. ALSO, the game brakes sometimes when no brakes are required! There's times you just lift for a partial second and then go back in full throttle.

Tilt B is much better when first learning no (or very low) assists, as recovering from skids is easier. Just lift off the throttle, steer a little straighter (widen the corner) and your car often pulls out by itself. With Tilt A, it generally makes the skids worse as it's either full throttle or full brakes.

Once you learn the braking points for a track, they don't vary much. Meaning it's very close for every car. There are some exceptions mind you. The Ferrari F1 cars and the MP4-X are insane! It's quite shocking how late you can brake in those!

People used to say, use TC off to ease into this. I disagree. BA will either over brake or brake late. Braking late with TC off will just throw you off track. Get in the lead, then switch to Tilt B with TC and brakes off and see how you do. You have to pick reference points at every track for when to brake (like real racers do). I started doing this at Le Mans in Endurance Kings. You can be in lead after the 1st straight which leaves you about 30 minutes to practice WHILE earning fame & R$.

Good luck out there!
