Full traction control is overpowered

I am playing F1 for 3 years now and I really trained a lot to be quick with reduced driving assist like traction control or ABS.

As I am taking part in a pretty competitive league now, I found out, that you can adjust the car setup that much, that you be just 1 second per lap slower than F1 Esport drivers with full traction control...

Afterwards I adjusted a few more setups like this and it turns out, I am mostly 0,2 - 0,5 seconds per lap faster than with medium traction control.

I think this is simply not fair for those who are training a lot be faster...

I think full traction control needs a big nerv, as it is not rewarding for those who really want F1 22 to be a simulation. I think most of us have not enough time and talent to be as fast as an F1 esports driver, but please take a look at it. Drive Silverstone for example an you can the, the more reckless you go on the throttle in low gears, the more rewarding the game is.

As for setup: just increase rear suspension (not driveable with medium or no traction control)

On top of that, you can nearly make now mistakes with full traction control. Its like a train on rails and simply not enjoyable.

And to mention all in one: PLEASE also nerv ABS. Even esports drivers can not be faster with ABS turned off. 

Best Regards

    @AndianoAGI kind off agree with you. But for different reasons. I believe it’s far slower using full TC. And ever tried it in the wet. It restricts way to much power going through the rears. It’s laughable.

    It allows for zero wheel slip. Which makes driving like your on rails. And sucks any fun out off driving with it on. As you’ve said

    However if it allows wheel slip… which would be nerfing it. Would actually make full tc overpowered because in the right hands more grip whilst allowing more power to the wheels.

    med tc is much faster than full tc.  

    alex Gillon did a deep dive and his data matched what I see

    But it’ll never been as fast

    Of course driving without any assists can be much faster, but the amount of effort you need to put in is enormous.

    To be as quick as someone is with full traction where no practise is neccessary, I need to train for at least 2 hours (for each track). On top I already did a lot of training the past 3 years and i appears, I am slower as full traction even after my training with medium traction...

    And please trust me I am not that bad... Silverstone 1 sec off compared to esports level WITH FULL TC !!!! This is simply to close!

    @AndianoAG Maybe you are just that good…. Vast majority off players won’t get close with full tc that I’m certain

    @AndianoAG I feel you mate as someone who as turned off all assists except the racing line and driving competitively in online leagues there is ways to cheat the game with full assists if you know how to do it. My suggestion is joining leagues with no assists enabled that way its fair for all drivers to be on a level playing field.
