You have great opportunities to adjust the traction controller to your needs. Sensitivity can be adjusted by what gear you are in, and by how much gas you give. You can also adjust the sensitivity while driving with Traction Control Adjust. With this you can also turn of the TC system completely. Retrieved from a TC-race supplier ...”

“Freddie you are spot on I think, and if you follow Div 1 you can see very easily who is using it. All the cars have Pectel electronics and are mapped by Julian Godfrey.
If I should tip, based on what you see in driving style how the cars are on the track then it is 4 Ford's and 1 Volvo.”

Who besides Sverre and Frode uses Godfrey engines?
I think it actually could be legal as normal TC is monitoring wheel speed like ABS, right? I am sure there is nothing (legal) to say about a clever programmed Pectel management?

Still amazing to see, how Isachsen's car seem to have the edge over other Godfrey equiped cars... So Kuypers, Valle and Pauwels could have the same system? So it is the battle between Trollspeed, Godfrey and Oreca that have the biggest share in Top 10 Division 1 cars?
