We are saying the same thing. As I've said earlier, I don't use "Full" DSC on the steet as that is way to intrusive. I use MDM instead, which seems to be a great setup for street driving in dry weather.

Maybe part of the problem is where the track out cone is. Just because an instructor put it there does not mean it is in the best place for Your car or Your driving. The best line is the line that gets you around the corner faster or by the car in front of you. Every car and every driver has its best line. The weight and handling of the M3 is quite different from a 1972 911. Each taking a quite different line. And a Lotus will rotate upon lift much easier than the 335i, and you have to rotate a F2000 to be quick. But this does not mean a 3600lb street sedan will always benefit from such driving techniques. I think you should try a variety of lines through that sections to see which one suits your car and you best. Many driving schools will place cones at the "safe" line, not the best or fastest line because they want their students to have a safe day and don't want a reputation of many off road excursions with track management. To answer the question, I think sliding will be slower every time if you are in the same gear. Wait a bit longer before applying additional power at a place that will not elicit the wheel spin. And don't focus on overall lap times but take a passenger and time the corner in question only to see the actual results of your modifications. |

MDM is good on the track - MUCH better than the e46 basic traction control. I used it all day for my first event. once I learn the car a bit more I will turn it off completely.
