I've tracked on several...

I believe the maximum cornering g force is programmed into PTM based on the SC3 capabilities so if you slightly exceed that number on SC3Rs the system thinks you're sliding when you're not and...

Agreed. For me I think SC3 tires last at least twice as long as SC3Rs so I typically use SC3 for most sessions.


Agreed, even when not trying to slide around.
