I'll differ slightly. Go ahead and use the assists, but work your way out of them. Drop from High brake to low, and drive that way for a while. Turn off the traction control, and learn to drive that way. Now turn off brake assists. This one is a tough step, but pretty rewarding. Do it one track/course at a time. Pick one you're comfortable with and know well. Figure out where the brake points are. This varies between cars, but not as much as you'd think. It can be quite dramatic on fast straights leading into tight corners. Once you've mastered one track, start adding tracks to your brake assist free repetoir.

I don't think steering assists really hurt you, but I run without or on Low, except I use High with the F1(-like) cars. The only real problem I see with SA is that it works really hard to prevent you from turning around and driving backward.

Also, run against somewhat faster ghosts in WTTT. Watch their lines. The Bot's lines aren't bad, but they're pretty conservative. And it seems like on the first lap, in particular, they leave a lot of room.
