I got sideways in first, let off, got sideways in second and was looking at the concrete wall. After the third run I threw in the towel before something bad happened. I need to get to my normal dyno to document the increase if I can but all preliminary indications are that the dual adds a lot down low. I even had traction control intervention with it turned off.

I was running with lots of real nice and fast cars and I was embarrassed by my poor showing. But they are all fanatics and were very kind and non judge mental. You know, saying things like, coño, que torque tiene el carrito! (Dang, that car has TORQUE!) My car is set up for road courses and it must have affected traction. The track seemed to be well prepared. I saw lots of cars in the 11's.

Yeah i would deffinately be keeping your ESP on for the time being! Keep trying different ways to ease on the accelerator until u find it. Do u lose traction in 2nd from a roll? With ESP on i only ever lose traction in 1st

Yes, I'm loosing traction in 2nd from a roll. I don't think that's super unusual. But I lost it so badly that the car got sideways. I always race with traction control off because when things get hairy it intervenes anyway. Truthfully I think the negative camber I'm running in the rear has something to do with it. But, I'm running with the negative camber for a while now and this dangerous lack of traction is new. I can link you to some photos to the track day if anyone is interested.

Les, you should try some laps with it on, and drive the course as hard as you can. This little car loves to rear end swap because of its short wheelbase. I have had a lot of track time in my day, and have tried both ways with this car, and the fact it does over-ride in the off mode, it is unpredictable, but with it on, it becomes predictable...just try it...if I could take the t/c out of picture all together, I might change my mind, but with it off, and you accellerate out of corner, and it starts to break traction just as you are getting a feel for the corner, and it kicks in, shooting you straight while you are still in drift mode, isn't fun.....
