Do you guys race with ABS/TC?
Whereas I leave both on. In longer races, TC may help with tyre wear too, with less sliding.

Nice graphs Marty.  They look fairly close, all up.

I leave them both on and tweak their rates just like another setup option (more TC than ABS).

TC's too hard to tweak, I reckon. You never know what the default "factory" TC level is, and you can't save it with the setup, so I don't bother.

Just to remind peoples, Traction Control (control T) set at say 1/8 is the strongest TC, whereas 8/8 is a very mild setting of TC.

Doesnt always seem to be the case though, it may be of some use playing around with it. But Id probably setup the car with no TC then maybe once I have it set have a play with the tc options to see if can be better especially over a longer race. I tried some tc at Vallelunga thought and it made it worse to drive and less controllable so better to just use my foot of tc.

Running at Brands earlier seemed I needed a bit of tc in all cars there, Vallelunga Im finding TC tends to hurt more then it helps for most of the lap. It would probably be better exiting the hairpin then the fast chicane after as I feel I need to be very careful through there on throttle. With TC at the correct level you could be a bit more aggressive out of both of those.

Hey Wally could you chance my choice to the Nissan GTR? Tried hard to make the Mclaren 650 work but see a future of dive-bombing in the races if i continue to to drive it  ;D

Oh the misses would be pleased with me racing while away. I'll just look for the sexually deviant garden gnomes you've placed at the front of the house. Marty told me they're in leather and fishnets.

Last thing you want to do is leave your fingerprints in that house. It also easy to spot as its got a full time undercover surveillance crew out front. Though when GB is out "working" they probably follow him to see if he is bringing home another "friend"  ;D

However if you did go to the sim room youd want to bring your own seat. You may find that all cars on that setup are a couple seconds quicker then at home.  ;)

I'd Like to drive around at the back of the field if there is room on the grid for me.

only just sorted my PC/AC/Wheel/BDOS issues so will do some laps and advise my car preference.
