I'm playing NFS Shift on my pc using my keyboard. I have kept the control setting to casual. This causes the "Assist braking" option to be high and compulsory.
Now this works in a very stupid way. Very frequently when I'm driving with leading position and a sharp corner approaches the AI slows my car automatically so much that other cars behind me overtake me at blazing speeds. This gets especially annoying when there are sharp corners near the finish lines.
So I noticed that there are more controls to fine tune the way braking works by defining the brake dead zone and brake sensitivity. I can only hope that making changes to this would also affect the wonderful assist.
Question: What setting should I keep for the brake dead zone and brake sensitivity to deal with this problem?

The brake dead zone and brake sensitivity change how does the game react to press the break pedal or a button on your joystick. It will not change the way the game react to your keyboard steereing. To get rid of the annoying assist, is to turn it off, or reduce it to minimum. I am not sure, but probably there is a config file that defines the distance to the curve to break, and the speed.
