Assits DO slow you down to a certain point but the TC slows you down the most followed by Braking assist and steering is just a JOKE it's suo bad with it turned "off"...

I drive no TC @ level 154 (took a while but once I got he hang of it it's a LOT faster with no TC on cause you're not getting the braking dragging you back when the car get's loose - although RR's programers still don;t seem to understand that race-cars slide a bit and a squeeling tire is NOT worth a big drop in speed like they think it is, but then RR is clearly made by people who don;t ACTUALLY know much about cars and jsut care about money), low Braking assists or NO braking assist depending on the race/what I'm doing, but the STEERING assist is rediculous,  it's more like it BREAKS the steering  links when you turn it off. Seriously, WHAT is the deal, you start to turn and then the car just stops turning and you can't hold a nice arc through turns cause you either need to crank the device/"wheel" (which is stupid considering most of us are playing on a device with no controller so you in essence have to turn the device 90deg which makes it AWFULL hard to see where you're going) or the car just plows into the wall/off the track. For refrence, I ACTUALLY race cars (or used to, no time now) and have several track cars with manual steering and they're litteraly the OPOSITE of how this game acts, they're heavy at slow-speed  ut have more stability and feel lgihter at higher speeds so... yeah, RR3 drops the ball again. It's almost as if they meant steering RATE vs "assist" because it's lie it slwoed down the rate and gave the car terrible on-center stability all for the "challenge". It's pretty rediculous esp. when you get "forced" to run "All assists off" like n the Racing school/events cause the fact is, VERY few of these cars have "no steering assist", in fact many of them have that awful electric assist but nearly ALL of them have power steering. I really don't know what RR is thinking with regards to the steering issues but it'd be nice if they put some effort into fixing the issues with this game instead of trying to get as much revcenue as possible by getting in bed with NASCAR (the WORST update yet and clearly done for the advertising revenue when you look at the banners all over the place) and makign every car past a certian point "gold only" to buy or "free... if you pay mroe gold then the car costs to upgrade it so you can 'win' it for 'free' ". EA sports has RUINED the RR franchise.
