joined the A45 from the M42 slip road this morning. Long sweeping bend going uphill. I gave it just a little bit too much welly and got sideways... a nice bit of accidental drifting. :dance:

 

anyway I took it easy the rest of the way to work because I thought I had left my Racelogic TC on 20% and it was raining. When I got to work I went to change it and saw the TC was set to wet???? :headvswal

 

Surely I shouldn't be able to spin my wheels with TC set to wet.

 

Whats going on?

Wet should = 0% Suspect it ain't working right ...

RLTC can't deal with lateral movement, since it was wet your wheels could be locked and they would not be spinning.

Yeah, but if it went sideways because he hoofed it which started the wheels spinning then that shouldn't have happened. Obviously if he's hurtling around a corner and the car drifts out then TC won't make any difference.

Yes completely agree :)

And that was what happened... Too much power made the wheels spin - but my TC was set to wet and I thought that couldn't happen.

 

This was not a skid induced by lifting off, I was powering round a corner and my wheels started to spin. I caught it in plenty of time and continued as normal.

 

I wasn't even going that fast - it really was like I had no TC on at all.

Suggest you do some wet weather 'testing' to check whether it's doing what you think it should be doing. Sometimes small configuration changes can make a difference.
