I'm the one who suggested traction control, and I only did it because I was struggling without it. I'd love to sit on 4.3 for a month and learn to do it without traction control, but that isn't an option. I turned it off for 4.4, and while I haven't finished 4.4 with only R$ upgrades (I've come very, very close, but not quite), I can't quite pass the last driver, who is running 3:35's for the 3 laps. Of course, I've done a horrible job of slowing bots, mainly because I haven't had the time until today, and today, they aren't slowing (because I'm below the recommended PR, probably). If there isn't a sale by the time I'm ready to play next (probably tonight, but possibly tomorrow morning), I'm going to start on the gold upgrades and pass 4.4 rather easily, I suspect. I'll use Eric to keep my car serviced and move on.

Time limited events are the only time I turn on assists, and then only when absolutely needed. I love it when they turn off assists on gauntlets, because it doesn't affect me any. I just can't get this car in my head. I either go too fast and slide off the outside of the corner or I go too slow and end up on the grass on the inside of the corner. I'm going to have lots of fun in the time trials of the series learning how to go faster without assists, but first I have to win the car.
