Welcome to
For cornering, the driving line can be useful AT FIRST, to give you an IDEA how to apex corners. The braking zones are a load of codswallop, however. Once you have an idea on apexing, turn it off. It only serves to distract.
The golden rule on cornering is: 'Slow in, fast out', which should be self-explanatory. Also, Jackie Stewart once said: "Never get on the accelerator in a corner unless you're sure you won't have to lift off." (Or some such... lol)
Can't find it, post a link?
Seems you are getting used to the posting well.
With cornering I recommend using the best tyres to get used to cornering (Racing softs).
Hope to hear from you soon
I'm also in the camp that feels, and this is an opinion, that using the driving aids and the Racing Soft tires, especially at the beginning of the game, will most likely teach a player how not to drive.
The Racing Soft tires give a lot of grip, which allows the player to drive without worrying too much about driving well. The assists compensate for mistakes that the player is making. Put those together and a player can win, sometimes easily, without driving very well.
It's possible to learn bad habits due to this and when a race or event comes along that allows neither sticky tires or assists, the player is then baffled and, almost always, blames the car. That player most likely never actually learned how to actually drive.
I don't know if I would actually go as far as to start out with Comfort Hards, the least sticky of all of the tires, but it might work to teach you good habits. Many of the Online Seasonal Events will be restricted to Comfort Softs, which feel very slippery to most players, mostly due to them being used to the super sticky Racing Softs.
The idea of starting out with less sticky tires, and no assists, at the beginning of the game is that you will be the one driving the car. The car will not be driving itself, or making up for errors. You, yourself, will be doing the work, and it's rewarding when you finally manage a win for the first time that seemed almost impossible when you first attempted it.
Once you get the hang of how to drive yourself, the rest of the game will not seem that difficult. In fact, it might seem easy to you. In other words, you won't feel like you're fighting the car, because you know what you can and can't do with it. The assists tend to make a person fight for control of it. (I hope that makes sense.)
It may seem odd to make things harder when you first start out, but in the long run, you'll be better off.
Another plus to that, is when you get into a race that allows for better tires, let's say an online race where everyone is using Racing Softs, you'll be able to push more out of the car than your opponents, because you know how to drive.

Myself, and some of the others posted some good info on another topic recently, feel free to check it out:

Keep in mind that some of the advice may not apply to you as you may wish to play the game differently than JJ.
You'll see a bit of discussion about some people wanting to play simulation style, meaning as close to real life as possible vs. arcade style which is not very realistic, but some people love just being able to drive for fun and not take it too seriously.
There's nothing wrong with either. It's your game, you should choose what you like to do with it. That's my opinion.
I like to focus on the licences :3
The Skip Barber Racing School technique is very helpful for understaning the physics of racing, you can see the GT1-GT3 manuals and other sources for more details on Skip Barber.
Also look up "traction circle" -- keep in mind that any tire is only capable of 100% traction, which must be distributed among 1-acceleration, 2-braking, and 3-turning. If any combination of these three forces creates a demand for grip beyond what the tire can deliver, the tire will skid and may result in loss of control. Tire skid (or slide) is only desirable in drifting or rally racing -- which are both controlled slides -- and slide should not be confused with "slip" or slip angle, which a different topic altogether.
Also, it may be helpful to remember the different driving dynamics inherent in the various drivetrains -- FF, FR and 4WD/AWD are typically nose-heavy (not always), while MR and RR are typically rear-heavy. When driving any particular car, keep in mind its drivetrain, grip, and power capabilities and drive accordingly. (I always have to remember these performance limitations when driving the TVR cars... they are very fast but just don't handle very well, so they are able to produce fast lap times when driven appropriately.)
***Power is nothing without control.***
Finally, the most important thing to remember is HAVE FUN! Hope this helps.
