The TCS monitors wheelslip as compared to steering angle 50 times per second and makes adjustments to each rear wheel brake at that rate. This means that the brakes will attempt to equal out the torque distribution to each wheel every 20 milliseconds. This is very easy to do on dry pavement with identical tires and the effect on the stripes would be seamless to the naked eye.
interesting... thanks for the info
