Lol... was on purpose. I decided to give Chris' method a try since TC was cutting in way too much after coming out of corners. Did about 5-6 laps without it.. more playing around then anything. The great thing about the car was that I could tell exactly when the car was going to step out (all hail the KDW's). I did that maybe 4 or 5 times at that corner. The last time I pushed a bit too much and the car snapped on me a bit. I definately wouldn't recommend doing this to anyone else.

In any case, the wet having the TC off made a bit of difference... but if you didn't have an exact feel for the car... or know how the car was going to react it could very easily get messy.

Also it's not like you gain a huge amount of speed or anything.. end result.. I don't really see a need to ever turn it off.

Here it is:
