Yeah, I have seen this said before, what does it do to correct yaw? use the brakes or limit power?
Anyway, how in the world did you make that jump from talking about ABS and VVEL to VDC? Tse only times I leave VDC on at all on the track is if the conditions have changed drastically - leave it on a lap or two to safely learn the new limits or if its my 1st couple sessions, I'll leave it on for a lap or two while the tires (and myself) warm up.

from my experiment it used brakes to straighten the car when i abruptly throttle lift mid-turn intentionally. so if i want the rear to swing out, i need to apply throttle, or yank the e-brake hard. e-brake uses drums.

basically once you notice you lost control of the car, let off the throttle and brake momentarily. the car will recalculate and get the car back out of a spin, then apply brakes.
most often people over compensate and crash. ofcourse thats if youre not going excessively over the car's limit. |

I can attest that I have used trailing throttle oversteer to help rotate the car on many occasions though (most recently midcorner in T6 at Sonoma).Might not be quite the fastest way through a corner but sometimes its what the situation calls for. I think the system only kicks in if its a really sudden slide. I can also attest to very nearly spinning a few times when for some reason I carried my braking into an off camber corner once or twice (cough, Sonoma T8, VIR T10). I can say I have felt it straighten out the car when, under heavy braking, the chassis is upset by a bump. You feel a bit cheated and relieved at the same time!
