Tires screaming for no reason in some turns

[@SamySantana]

Hey man, nice driving! I noticed that you kept traction controlled enabled. Do you think it would have made a different, time wise as well as control during sharp turns, if you had turned it off? Also, did you have this in sport mode? I assume so as I notice you using the shift nob here and there.

[@fortefullyloaded]

Thanks I try! lol I actually had the stability and traction control disabled during all the runs. But to answer your question: yes it does make a huge difference in how the car handles and therefore affects timing. Good catch! I was in "manual sport mode" and shifting to override the automatic shifting..it's not really fully manual as once it reaches 6K RPM it will upshift automatically. I was experimenting with this a lot during these sessions.

Just out of curiosity. What speed were you taking these corners at? My 22 forte barely squeals under 40 taking HARD corners

[@fortefullyloaded]

@@BoostedGT2 I'd say about 30-35 MPH. There's a lot of hard braking involved in these turns though, the squealing comes from the traction control being disabled and allowing the tires to fully rotate through the turn

@@fortefullyloaded yeah dude I was just curious, I’ve been trying to push this girl to her limits and I can’t get it to break. I’m very pleased with the handling

@@BoostedGT2 Autocross is a good way to have fun with it. I highly recommend it! Do you have any mods?
