But seriously, the TCS kicking in was probably because you were about to spin your rear wheels and you wouldn't be accelerating anyway. Either that or because you hit the rev limiter.
So for everybody except for 25 Year Driving Instructor Guy, this should be the most relevant statement. If you're driving around with everything on and the nanny intervenes, then you were most likely over-driving. Sure, you probably wouldn't have crashed, but you also were not driving optimally...try taking that corner again without triggering VSC. If you feel that the electronic aids are an insult to your Driving God Ego, then think of them as a cup full of water that makes you drive just like Takumi.
