RC-F TVD usage questions
1. For highway accident avoidance aid: Given TVD this always be on in one of the 3 modes: For to context of accident avoidance should one do high speed freeway driving in TRACK or SLALOM mode and not STANDARD mode. Of course you do city driving in STANDARD.
2. Most road tracks have both high speed and low speed corners (andf at least 1 Chicane ) Does Lexus recommend switching from TVD Track to Slalom in a lap as the track changes during a lap for amatuer tracking of the RC-F?

Hello rjmalm, we would love to provide some insight however we can only speak to city driving and recommend the operation outlined in the Owners Manual. We hope you understand.

Yes I can read the manual but was looking for the next layer of detail that the development team or testing team might have published.
I can not find a test result for each of the TVD modes doing the figure 8 test or a slalom test or the 200ft circle road handling g force test with each of the different TVD setting.
It might be the TVD settings will not improve the ability of increase the lateral G force but only the speed of corner entry and exit so maybe only figure 8 and slalom
tests will show improvement. Seems like this would be a selling point if Lexus would publish some test results.
Does lexus have a test results for these 3 settings for any track setting (any pavement friction value) for figure 8, slalom, or circle g test?
