Nice. I like this channel. They have done a couple of features on RCF TE before as well (including a vs Mach 1).

 

thanks for sharing. they did everything right for launch control except the last most critical piece. need to ease on the gas just a little and not floor it from the start to engage launch control. you can keep it floored once engaged and it'll stay at ~2k rpm until the brakes are released. there won't be any tire spin. pretty fun to play with.

 

I don't get it I thought launch control meant I could just floor it and the computer would feather the throttle for me???

 

yes you can floor it but if you floor it quick, launch control doesn't engage which is why all these reviewers struggle. but if you start a little slow with the gas then go to floored it engages, like in my video. not sure why it was designed that way. but i learned after getting sideways and a little close to the curb. pucker moment for sure. lol.

 

One of the guys brings up a good point about the downsides of being 'tentative' and not 'committed' to the turn.

Aside from the track edition, I feel my RCF is very oversteer happy as well (with TVD in my usual slalom mode). In order to control the forward momentum after entering the turn, I get on the power much sooner especially on 90 degree turns to keep my line and not let the inertia take over as inertia vectors straight always, which means sudden rocketing out of the turn. On grippy asphalt, it works like a charm as I can power out really quickly. On less than perfect roads, if I am not careful with the power (especially with sprintbooster being in race mode 4 or 5), I could easily swing the tail out. It is a lot of fun though.

I always think some people who complain about understeer , need to learn how to drive and look at their skills. The Scott Pruett video with TE was a great example of driving skills. Understeer is never an issue for me since I always get on the power earliy as soon as set the point the nose in after corner entry. The rear takes care of getting out of the turn as fast as possible.

 

Great review from Yuri and Jakub as always….I hope they review a regular RCF as well.
