Well writen!

"If you do lose control, let go of the controls. Stop accelerating or braking if you are doing either, stop turning if you can, let the car come back into a straight line and then apply the power. "

That's an excelent point, especially if you're fighting with a bot that's trying to spin you out: as soon as you touch the brakes, you're sideways.

My advice to start a no-assists run is to do as I did: get an edgy car to begin with. The reason is that the car will make it pretty obvious when you're making a mistake. In my case, it was the MP4-12C, a very loose car, but at the same time, somewhat forgiving (I love it!).
