That's interesting. When I turn VDC off, I sure don't have any traction control. Just ask the last pair of rear wheels that came off my car! ;-)

However with street tires and LSD it doesn't really seem to be an issue at the auto-x. There typically isn't enough traction to lift the inside wheel to the point that it will spin freely so instead both wheels spin when you juice it in a corner. With sticky race tires it is a different story, and I've had the traction control intervene when trying to accelerate out of a corner. It's a little annoying but the intervention isn't that painful. So yes, traction control is still on partially, but it only intervenes if there is a large differential in speed between the 2 rear wheels. You can still do burnouts and donuts to your hearts content if that is your thing.

Nobody Mentioned!!
Okay... If you leave Traction Control button ON. Which is default when you turn on your car. Your back tires will automatically brake, preventing you from spinning your car if one tire spins faster than the other.
If you turn it OFF. You will get less of this auto braking. If you perform a Launch on your car, drop the clutch pedal. with the traction control button ON, your back tires will begin braking and your purpose of your launch is messed up. lol If you take short fast corners with this botton ON, your back tires automatically brake. So in other words!! TURN OFF if you want to drive aggressively. Leave ON if you choose to drive like a normal driver. END. copyright 2012 All information here given reader takes at his own risks.

True. I always drive with my VDC turned off. I honestly dont remember the last time I forgot to turn it off. It is habitual now. I also dont know how many times with it off it still will kick on, not bad, but enough to notice, then I look down and it is blinking.
