Traction or lack of with controller in slow speed corners

I have tried absolutely everything to try and dial this out. When exiting slow corners with a controller mainly when applying a high amount of lock I can not prevent the rear tyres from spinning. I ...

Hey racers

The team has investigated this issue extensively and they haven't found any unusual behavior in slow corners. They've tried to push the Traction control to it's limits based on your provided footage and settings, but they weren't able to find any unusual handling behavior.

Therefore, we consider this topic closed.

@RVladimiro Thanks for your feedback, it’s not just me then. Surely with full TC on this should not be happening. It’s almost impossible to get any decent traction especially at the likes of Baku. Really spoiling it all for me.

@IanM282 No not just you. I just rage quit at Bahrain. I’ve tried pretty much every also. It’s not so much the wheels spinning. For me it’s turning in tight corners the car carries on rotating, sometimes I think I’ve cracked it. First I thought increasing steering speed was working at I could open the steering quicker that worked for a couple off corners so I then tried reducing steering speed and that also worked for a couple off corners. Tried tc and all that did is over rotate the car without rear wheels spinning. 😂😂.

@ScarDuck14 Try increasing Front ARB...see how that works.

  @BadMayh3m Thats one thing that might work, also what David suggested - running higher negative camber has helped me with accelerating with steering lock at low speed like Canada

    @Meza994 The cars are drifting because of messed up rotations as far as I can tell.
    By messed up rotations I mean we as a community dont know how setups affect rotations....example-I think Major rotation is affected by Brake Bias, I use it like I use to use off diff in 22.

  I have to clear my head now.
  Went to Australia earlier and was just sliding.
  In most corners it's okay, but in the last corner I lost a lot of time.
  My front man made up more and more time and ended up having an 8-second lead.
  It's just not fun like that!!!

    Okay I read now 12 pages of people mentioning this problem. This week we started coop career and Bahrain, Turn 1, was horrible for my buddy with pad.
    Playing automatic gear + full TC. With wheel it was ok for me. So can confirm this problem.
    So what can we do.
    If I understand it correctly, the problem seems to be the gear shift in slow corners.
    Has anybody find a "work around" to minimize the problem? I mean, does it help to make a manual upshift in such slow corners or does the automatic gear always "corrects" you with downshifting? What is about linearity in the pad settings?
    What kind of expierences have made pad users with manual gear and full TC? Does manual gear gives us the freedom to controll the power in exit corner exits more?
