GRID Legends - Driving Assists Always ON even tho they are NOT

Is there a way to REALLY turn off driving assists in GRID Legends? Even with everything OFF in gameplay settings driving feels like everything is on. Like ABS is OFF, but it is impossible to lock the wheels under hard braking. Traction Control OFF and still seems impossible to lose traction under acceleration mid corner or wherever. All cars feel very stable always and it is annoying as hell. The game is too easy and forgiving. Previous titles like GRID Autosport and older weren't like that at all! Is it possible to really turn them OFF in any way (by messing with game files or whatever)? Because it looks like a glitch that Assists ON or OFF makes no difference. I want to play it like I remembered it from the classics and judging by game design it haven't changed much so I hope it isn't another case of 'EA ruined it'.
