the fact is people who drive with them on (bar the steering and braking assists) will have a speed advantage as they can just throw their car round corners and maintain traction

That's just nonsense. It's not how assists function. In most games using assists is demonstrably slower than disabling them.

There was some talk about giving casual mode more grip. That might be an issue if it did happen and you get more grip online (although I doubt that would be an intended feature)

But really, why would you care? You either disabled assists because you genuinely wanted the challenge you claim they give you. But then it begs the question why you would then cry about the challenge as though it was unfair?

Or, in the alternative, perhaps you are just trying to make up for being slow by pretending the way you drive is in some way superior or more difficult in itself. But it isn't. Any buffoon can drive around a track, assists or not. Unless you get a fast time it doesn't mean diddly squat whether you had assists on or off.

you can get faster times by blitzing round corners too fast rather than braking perfectly, turning and then accelerating through the corner (with no tyre screech).

I don't believe that. I want to see proof. In every racing game I've played, I get faster laps without assists than with and in general the fastest players are the same.

So if shift is different in that respect then that's a bug imo.

That said, ask for the option by all means, but your logic for wanting it is flawed.
