F458 TC levels

I have a question about the tracion control levels of the f458 italia. I just drifted it a little around silverstone whit the street tyres and I tried to play a little bit with the TC. What I notice is that is easier to spin the tyres using the level 4 than with level 1. Untill now I was sure that level 1 was the lower setting of the TC (where it cuts the less power) while the lever 4 was the max setting (the one that in theory you are using in regular street driving). Can someone explain me how the levels are working?

 

The levels work exactly opposite to what you thought they would
Level 4 is the lowest level, i.e. allows for most wheelspin. Level 1 is the most invasive level.

 

Thx a lot. Maybe in the future we will have the real names of the levels like the ones on the ferrari's manettino!

 

So with for example the 12c GT3 which has 11 steps IIRC, is that 10% increments of TC?

 

Mmm....no..... 11 x 10 = 110....... more like increments of 9%

 

lol! i meant 9, lordy knows why i typed 10. I didn't know they had that level of TC control, I guess I'd presumed a small amount for launches and the rest down to driver skill.

 

Yeah....TC is a big part of racing nowadays.... SRT spend a big chunk of the 2013 off season developing the traction control for their GTS-R GTE car

 

If I'm not wrong the cars with a ton of Tc settings have some levels dedicated to wet racing. In any case as I wrote in my previous post it will be nice in the future to have some more level description that the only level. As much as is would be great to be able to set the Tc and ABS from the setup screen

 

i have read that GT3 cars drive in rain with level 4 from 10.
Level 10 is for dry track and Level 1 would be for aquaplaning ^^

 

One of the MP4-12C GT3 drivers said that with their setup, they usually use level 5 as a starting point on a dry track.....

 

Seems bizarre to have TC on those big heavy cars, but banned in F1. Not saying F1 should have TC again, quite the opposite, more curious as to the need in GT3

 

Because GT3 is usually a pro-am class..... it reduces the chances of the rich guys crashing

 

Haha, pretty much true

F1 cars dont need TC as they have unbelievable high grip compared to GT3^^
Even the Exos S1 is a joke compared to the Red Bull 2013.
The Red Bull had even TC due engine mapping, you could hear it in Singapure 2013 for the first time.

@mclarenf1papa ok maybe i am wrong, just have read something with level 10 for dry track..
