My advice for you if you want to drive faster is not driving without TC, but with TC. You will be significant slower without TC.
If you dont belive me try your self, pick a track and do it with TC 2 and without TC. What are you fastest with?
I already have the answer its faster with TC 2 for you.
This my advice for any one that cant drive without TC and its thats simple and the purpose of TC is bacause every one cant drive without TC.
My user name is "eliasbarca6" you can see on kudosprime that at the moment I'm top B driver, but my actually level is mid A. You can see I made an DR reset, just to have some more fun. I even once had DR S, but that was using the glitch, not on purpose.
And I´m on my way back to my where I belong around mid A.
And you know what. I almost always have TC on 2, so that I´m sure that is possible to reach driver rating score 40.000 with tc on 2.
Of course it´s easy to drive without TC with FF cars and AWD.
Driving without TC is not something learned in few days or weeks, it´s months or maybe years.
And here comes the trick and important one.
Use TC but drive the car like you don´t have TC on, dont let TC kick in when you drive. If you can do/learn that you will be "almost" as fast as driving without.
I example do that, but I cant drive race C Suzuka with 11 laps with out one mistake, so i have the TC one to save me from spinning out, we all now its more ore less require only 1 spin out and the race is game over.
But some of you are right, TC on some sections/corners on some circuits is just bad. Like Suzuka last highspeed corner where its almost possible to take it flat out, TC kick in where you will not spin out if you did´nt have TC on and here you really losing time. Another example is Dragon trail where the highspeed left, right left corners getting TC to kick in unnecessary and you again lose time. And there is plenty of examples like this, most of those situations i put TC on 0 on the fly and again turn TC on 2 when I´m past those corners.
And how can you learn to drive like you don´t have TC on even if you have it on.
On every opportunity you have when you are not in race put TC on 0, you know every time you waiting for race to start. If you make faster qual times with TC on, put TC on make fast Qual time and use the rest of the time to train without TC.
All you people that thinking the difference between you and the Dr s people is TC, is wrong.
There is much more time to gain when focusing on other things like racing line, smoothness, weight distribution, corner entry, exit speed. finding the apex, trail braking and so on. Keep looking on the videos from top 10 there is gold there.
If you are not ready for driving without TC and start to drive without, all your focus will be on not spinning out and you will loose the opportunity to focus on other racing techniques like i wrote few lines up.
Let me say it like this "Our time to drive without TC will come, but its not now"
Every day i become a better driver, every day i getting better to drive the car Without TC kicking in, and many thanks for the guy that invented TC.
TC made me become a better driver, TC is my best friend, She i always there when i need her.
Let her in your life, so you can put your focus somewhere else.
