So I did it today. Turned off tc on a slower track that I’m very familiar with at a private track day with low traffic. And proceeded to shave 3 seconds off my pb. So … yeah.

Felt great, especially going through corners where before tc would kick in and make me think I’m way overdoing it only to see that it was overreacting and I had plenty of room. Obviously I’m being extra cautious but definitely felt the rear end move around and was able to rein it in so I’m feeling good about my abilities relative to how hard I’m pushing.

Big issues I’m having is brake pads. I’m just demolishing them. What are you all seeing for pad life? I ran the new set of xp20s down to about the “as thick as the backing plate” limit today. Now, it was a full open track day so about double the track time of a typical 5 session hpde, and the track is super tough on pads. Is that just a fact of life on a full interior car? Or am I doing it wrong? I’m running at advanced group speeds, and now with dsc off I’m not expecting any unprompted activations.. just not sure what the baseline is.
