Sometimes known as "brake torqueing".
As for controlling the car, or keeping it from "fish tailing", as long as the front wheels are turned sharply to the left, then the car will only "slide" to the right, and not fish tail. And of course, only slide to left when the front tires are turned to the right.
As long as the traction control has "any" power flowing thru its circuits, a fish tail scenario is nearly impossible. Turning "off" the traction control, does not eliminate it's presence.
Or in the racing world we also call this "trail braking". It's quite a handy maneuver through turns. But as you can imagine, it is nearly impossible in this car because the damned TC cuts the power to the engine.
Our "newbie" needs to do his research about the TC and probably many other things pertaining to this car.
