It's the same with me, but often when I'm at about 60deg off where I should be (may be a slight exaggeration), a quick let go of the steering wheel and a letting go of the throttle seems to align the car up again quite quickly and I can putt off without too much trouble haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think mine would go 20 degrees either way mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case I wait until they're looking out the window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopper8 Member 47 Member For: 6y 10m 12d Posted 01/08/18 05:11 AM Share Posted 01/08/18 05:11 AM I see, so the consensus is TC is almost worthless.In FG, what does it actually do?? Is it simply a power cut?? (that's what it feels like..)..it doesn't brake individual wheels or anything does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,141 Member For: 16y 9m 7d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 01/08/18 05:15 AM Share Posted 01/08/18 05:15 AM DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) in the FG's is much more worthwhile than just the regular old traction control in a BA/F. But still to be turned off when you're intending to drive spiritedly, lest it cut power when you don't want it to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopper8 Member 47 Member For: 6y 10m 12d Posted 01/08/18 05:25 AM Share Posted 01/08/18 05:25 AM Cool, I'll give that a crack next time I have a good run to clarify though - 'driving spiritedly', you mean having a quick run through the twisties, not lighting it up on private roads etc?? If I TC off & belt through the hills I spose I could be in for an accidental tree hug, if our definition of 'spirited' is not the same :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopper8 Member 47 Member For: 6y 10m 12d Posted 01/08/18 05:29 AM Share Posted 01/08/18 05:29 AM Noted :DThis brings us back to the original point of this thread. If I turn off TC and snap sideways, I'll end up in a ditch :/ I have always caught the sideways snap but there's not much margin for error when pushing hard through narrow twisty roads..
