At least you can laugh about it

most of time this is used as additional system together with less sophisticated LSD system,

TCS is mostly mistaking with system what should give you more traction, but true is that this system only prevent vehicle from spinning.

TCS simply cuts power.

EPS/VSC/ASR/Nanny FRED does the trick brake application thang as well, so is more sophisticated.

Still won't save you if you drive like a total twunt, though.

I cannot see either being much use on a 'Lude - only fairly powerful RWD cars really need then to stop one being 'caught out'. I've only ever activated my TCS deliberately by driving like a twunt, though. Sometimes it's useful to get the tail out...

I've only activated mine in 2 scenarios:

1) When launching at Santa Pod or similar venue and forgotten to turn it off.
Result: Car bogs down and you look a fool.

2) When it's icy, just plant the power and it kicks in.
Result: due to extra fuel being shoved through the cylinders, car pops and bangs like a turbocharged monster
