That's what i asked to myself since the week before of the F12020 release. I mean, in almost all the games, when you use driving assists you normally lose some pace, you're a bit slower because the game is helping you to not lose the control of the car (Fe. Project cars, Assetto Corsa, Gran Turismo, Forza Motorsport or Horizon...). In this game, I always have to use the assists on multiplayer, anti block and medium TC because you are FASTER than when you don't use it. This is really frustrating, seeing people who is already very fast using assists to be even faster. In the other games usually is "harder control of the car is faster pace", but in this game is "the easier, the faster".
Yesterday played some laps around Austria in time trial. 1.04.6 without assists, while a friend, who never used assists and our times were almost equal, gets a 1.03.9 with TC and antiblock.
They should nerf the assists?
