ESP on Scirocco

Back on track after lockdown and have done 3 track sessions and had some in car training to make sure my lines are not too bad. Im starting to get faster and more consistent lap times .

I headed to the track on Friday for a few laps and work on the Scirocco ESP system with Barry from M-Development. The traction control system can be switched off with the button but the car still switches it back on if it feels you’re doing something that comes close to a slide, brilliant system for road use but not so much for the track . After hooking up the laptop and recoding some values and then heading out to the track to try we eventually got closer to where we wanted to be by adjusting the steering angle codes and after that I could get the car to slide and get into a full spin!
