it is always possible to spin the car even with tc. I'm just saying there is a time and a place, and the track is that. So many of these crashes are because inexperienced drivers turn off tc and behave recklessly. TC might not have saved them, but then again it could have.
I just think the community needs to stress not to turn tc off unless you know how to drive and know what you are doing. Especially since the value of these cars are dropping to where even kids will be able to buy them easily. Our driver training sucks.

..but it doesn't...if you go 60 MPH around a 30 MPH corner like in OP's case, TC isn't going to do shit..again, TC ain't the issue here, it is entirely bad judgement
plenty of folks here have crashed and spun out with TC on because it is there for people who are trying to have grip and don't want to spin out, not to save you when you're being a clown...hence why Toyota is trying to make shit like auto emergency brake and other safety features standard even on the next Supra >.< if TC was so important and vital then older cars and bikes would be banned for being unsafe without it and car companies wouldn't give drivers the choice to turn it off anytime they wanted...it is called Traction Control after all, not Stupidity Control..
