@Wisnu M.

I think of Brake Assist like I think of GPS, SatNav. Great assists, but if you really need to learn the Braking points or the route by heart for GPS, you have do it unassisted, otherwise you are not paying attention to the queues.

I have run Le Mans so much now, unassisted, that I sometimes know by how many gear shifts and where the engine is in the rev cycle where I need to brake and can start accelerating. I still pick out brake points visually, but when I run a track like Hong Kong with BA Low, I never get a feel for where I actually need to brake or accelerate. Sure, I will slam into a wall or a tire barrier initially, but eventually I get faster.

Tilt B helps, because sometimes you can coast a bit if you broke to early and you can accelerate override the brakes if you need to. You can also feather the throttle or the brakes if necessary. But first things first, you need to know your marks on the track to set fast times.
