I've been trying the Gr.3 race in manufacturers championship with Lexus and I've found out that they changed quite a bit how traction control works (I'm not gonna go into details let's just say that if you drive with TC set to 2+ you're gonna be at least half a second slower) , now even tho I have a wheel I tend to have a heavy right foot so TC really helped me out in consinstency with race pace. The problem is that now all Gr.3 cars with stock setup are way too twitchy on back end, the car is too sensible to gas pedal and it hits you back with an uncontrollable snap oversteer.
In my opinion it's time they let us change setups or go back to old physics, what's your thoughts?
 
Turn TC off and drive it like it was meant to be.
I had to turn it off because of that but still the car is too twitchy for me on rear and it's just undrivable, I can't be the only one with this problem right now.

Are you on a wheel or ds4?

Ease into the throttle on the exit, don't just mash it down. Also make sure the car is fully rotated and pointing somewhat straight. Every car drives a little different though so you need to lean that as well.
 
Aids only hinder your skills, once you learn to drive with them off you truly know where you stand on the track.

Check out www.snailracing.org read our rules, see if its for you. We have divisions for every level of driver and you will undoubtedly become a better driver by racing in our clean, spec chassis, no brake bias league.
 
I have to disagree with this. As soon as I got the G29, I turned on and off the TCS (using the wheel controls to do that while racing) to get comfy with it, and then I switched it off permanently. After the last update, I have to say exiting corners is WAY MORE stable than before. I mean, I'm almost able to exit a turn at full throttle with a bit of countersteering, being kind with the turn angle and so, without losing time. But before the update it tended to lose traction much easily as soon as you step the throttle too much. And I'm racing with Lexus RC-F Gr3&4.
