et me know if and when you deploy TC please
I use it on gr3 most gr4 all modern gr 1 group c, definitely on n4-500 and up. Some of the mr racecars I don’t use it.
I don’t use it on older cars that didn’t have it kart.
It’s not a question of slower vs faster. I’m usually faster with it, because I can push past the max throttle that can be applied without going totally out of control. I can play with how early and how much throttle I can apply coming out of corners without getting all out of shape.
TCS can teach a person far faster at default 3 in racing cars about what you need to do. No one really cares, but pretty much every race I am in there’s crashes because people did not have it on.
I’m always up in the top 1.5 percent or so on gr3 and 4 for times, and I am at default settings 95 percent of time. I don’t adjust bb on racecars because for me it unevens the tire wear, and also makes me slower and the cars feel worse under bop no tuning, but that’s just me.
I think with modern gt cars, they have very advanced tech, and maybe it’s not let’s say as PURE DRIVING as the kart or any vintage n100 or something.
Speaking of which
@Pigems was puuuuure on that 83 GTI time, just gotta throw it in there MASTERFUL RUN.
I have adapted my driving to the system and find it advantageous in many ways.
Then again on controller I’ve no idea what it causes because I can’t complete a lap on controller in any car in under twenty minutes.
I race people all the time who are faster than I am though with it so...
The important fact to me is TCS is not ‘auto make you slower mode’. It does not activate unless you do certain things and it does not just hold back engine power, and it doesn’t even work the same on all cars...
Like for people who have problems spinning out, most of the time it is the steering input, sure, too much throttle too soon, but also when holding the same steering angle.
You turn into the corner, the steering input needs to be full at apex, and the opening up coming out. Imo most people spin because they are a touch late on steering then hold the car by holding too much steering angle and goosing throttle.
That’s just my take.
With tcs, if you do this power will be cut, so, it shows you the mistake without a crash.
Improper steering causes TCS to activate and slow the cars drive out of the corner a lot, but if you steer better you can put power down.
Think about it exiting slow corners do you want to pussyfoot and tiptoe or aggressively push out?
On grid start is it faster to use tcs ?
With TCS on like out of Suzuka hairpin for example, you can push how aggressively you get on gas on exit, or on the chicane also,
Too soon and you can see it.
Sorry for the rant, just got back from delivering my kid, missed a race I was interested in.
I know nothing about controller use, but I know that I am able to get strong times with tcs on.
Another benefit is let’s say there’s contact with another car, or you go off and get dirty tires.
Again TCS saves the day.
I know people must get sick of me harping on this, but for gr3 and 4 races I wish more people used it.
I dunno, you are prolly some alien like the fella above running 11.8 on the mountain, but I think what I think.
Sorry for the rant guys.
and time of year. 👍
. Some cars I have it set to the default. Others I reduce it to help get some slip with the back end to rotate with the throttle. Some of the Gr4 AWDs like the WRX I have it turned off because I find them stable enough for me to handle without it and they turn in so much better with it off. I guess it comes down to a question of speed vs safety. If having it turned off results in you continuously spinning out during a race and potentially taking out other racers, then it's probably best to use it
