That said, the lines seem to alternate side to side (right spins, left spins, right spins etc.) so probably some clever mapping of the e-diff ecu. As others have said though, at what point does a power limiting fuel map become traction control?<br />A completely unenforceable rule in my opinion, unless you control ALL fuel maps, diff software etc.Porschephilenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-29570218301388812992013-06-25T08:31:51.163-04:002013-06-25T08:31:51.163-04:00You should be commended on the lack of Hamilton ha...You should be commended on the lack of Hamilton hate recently, even going the other way sometimes, but it does seem that RB are the new target :)<br />Carry on, I say!Porschephilenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-28452270205711228682013-06-19T21:12:25.605-04:002013-06-19T21:12:25.605-04:00Lewis has improved tremendously, I only got to mak...Lewis has improved tremendously, I only got to make fun of him missing his pit stall and his funny hairdo, CG and I take full credit for this newfound maturity in the lad! ;)AxisACnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-14122206826752927822013-06-19T19:32:12.205-04:002013-06-19T19:32:12.205-04:00Well, if they could make engine maps that kept the...Well, if they could make engine maps that kept the exhausts blowing even when off throttle, you thing playing with torque curves to maximize traction is far fetched?

There's no way to duplicate traction control via "mapping" I've been tuning for over a decade now, I would know.<br />The only way to duplicate traction control with the maps in your ECU is to have a map THAT IS TRACTION CONTROL. IE, a map that limits torque in certain gears and speeds by not giving fuel or spark to certain cylinders.<br />That, however, IS traction control, even if it's inside the ECU and not a separate component.<br />And don't tell me "Oh, this is the highest echelon of motorsport, you just aren't capable of what they are." The fact is, there's no way to duplicate traction control unless you create a map specifically to do traction control.<br />If they just have a few different maps in the car the driver can switch between to make different power levels, it's not traction control. It's just different maps with different levels of HP. It's still on the driver to make sure that lower HP number doesn't spin the tires.IFRYRCEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-11326062672386554572013-06-19T12:05:39.033-04:002013-06-19T12:05:39.033-04:00Remember all the trouble RB has had with their KER...Remember all the trouble RB has had with their KERS?<br /><br />I thought years ago that that was strange for such a technically competent team and that they must be doing something different from everyone else. No one else was having KERS failures. Also RB has always had superior exit acceleration from turns. These two observations plus the new photos convince me that RB is modulating the KERS torque in response to the shock pressure signal and applying slightly more torque when higher shock pressure indicates higher traction potential. They may also be doing the same thing under braking. I'm not sure this would be illegal since it is not really traction control simply a means to identify and take advantage of unused traction potential. What do you think???onyx24noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-11310444526711646452013-06-19T11:59:23.089-04:002013-06-19T11:59:23.089-04:00If it is TC (I don't believe it is...simply lo...If it is TC (I don't believe it is...simply looks like a very stiff car getting slightly unloaded over the expansion joint while under full throttle/wheelspin, and 'skipping' up the road as grip returns/falls away repeatedly a bunch of times every second; or as Scars says it's driveline oscillation), I'm not sure there's much to admire.

The RBR/Renault team is just doing it better than anyone else at the moment. It's NOT TC unless the FIA say it is but it's for sure a matter of semantics as drivers can switch maps in different parts of the track. <br />A modified saying that applies to every team, including your beloved RBR?

If you're pointing fingers at Red Bull, you need to be pointing fingers everywhere else. Red Bull and Vettel did this exact same thing at Monza last year or the year before. They were beasts off the corners and I'm pretty sure know one was idiotically calling them out for using traction control then. This is driveline oscillation you don't need to make a mountain out of a mole hill every time Ferrari isn't in the news. And I'm much more inclined to think that Scarbs knows far more about this situation than you ever will. At least he doesn't piss and moan about every little thing that doesn't involve Ferrari in a good light. What's the point of this article again? Did you get tired of bashing Lewis Hamilton or something?Full Name Herenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-72736369851640879322013-06-18T22:05:23.000-04:002013-06-18T22:05:23.000-04:00General AdmissionGeneral AdmissionJHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-25526408584697144402013-06-18T21:56:59.572-04:002013-06-18T21:56:59.572-04:00general admissiongeneral admissionbarfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-70013026107496476952013-06-18T21:29:59.288-04:002013-06-18T21:29:59.288-04:00general admissiongeneral admissionemilbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-36721373901893054862013-06-18T21:19:04.050-04:002013-06-18T21:19:04.050-04:00well, as long as the FIA says it's not tractio...well, as long as the FIA says it's not traction control, mapping is just a means of controlling torque...AxisACnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-56244194243183839522013-06-18T21:17:00.121-04:002013-06-18T21:17:00.121-04:00GA?GA?AxisACnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-16626885299893416482013-06-18T19:44:33.464-04:002013-06-18T19:44:33.464-04:00Scarb says it isn't a form of traction control...Scarb says it isn't a form of traction control, so it's not traction control as far as I'm concerned.Full Name Herenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-12175288290308622232013-06-18T16:57:41.822-04:002013-06-18T16:57:41.822-04:00It's like people have never heard of wheel hop...It's like people have never heard of wheel hop before?Seannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-54562056944128559072013-06-18T16:17:51.782-04:002013-06-18T16:17:51.782-04:00I actually see a very similar trail at my local ka...I actually see a very similar trail at my local kart track.
