Brake and Traction Control Assists

Recommended Posts

Are they linked??

I have turned Brake Assist from Low to Off but left Traction Control on Full and Anti Lock Brake is on. 

But accelerating out of a slow corner, like Austria Turn 3, when braking is not involved, and Traction Control seems to be less effective with spinning off. The only change has been Brake Assist. 

So wondered if there is a link or if there is another Assist setting other than the main menu??

I don't think they are, here is possible explanation. Maybe if you start accelerating while still going in direction of left kerb (in Austria turn 3), with brake assist it could apply a bit of brakes because it thinks you are going off line. And with that it allows you to survive with more throttle. While doing the same without brake assist, nothing can slow you down and if you apply same throttle it could be too much at that point.

I haven't used brake assist long time and I can say that I am always very cautious in that turn on acceleration, no full throttle for me until car is completely straight. :classic_smile:

I can’t see they are linked either. Above seems like a good explanation. Turn 3 in Austria is a renowned ***** for being able to get on the power though with Medium TC it’s still so easy to spin out there if not careful. Maybe not even full TC can save you there if you just ram the throttle down.
