It saved me when the track was wet, but outside of that I don't notice it on the brakes or mid corner only when I'm trying to get back on throttle exiting a turn. If it's doing anything right now it's slowing me down. I need to read up on the track settings more and figure out what each level does and how much input it has in them. Either way I'd never disable it completely on my street car.
HELL no. I'd have all of those things on if I had a car with that much power. Anything that helps keep a car off the wall and helps people get better is nothing but fair to me.
No I was just curious what it was doing as I saw it come on a lot in the video. Is it just pulling throttle? Didn't realize they had different levels of nannydom, Rx7's don't have anything but no torque so who cares except in the rain, 510 the same, 300zx has ABS and my mazda3 has abs/traction control but that just pulls throttle when I usually need throttle to keep the rear from coming out on me so I try to always turn it off.
Every Focus RS in Drift Mode that hit a wall was running with the car in "God" mode. Even in drift mode the ESC is still on by default.
A well programmed ESC is nearly invisible until you need it. And often it knows you need it before you knew you needed it.
The ESC in the RS in normal is intrusive. But in Track its awesome, I'd never turn it off. There is plenty of slip where needed.
I also want to add, BITCH! Stay in the throttle over the jump!
Even with my car I let out over that thing, FUCK that bump!
It does breaking and cuts spark depending on the need. When it was wet out I felt it apply the brakes to individual rotors, it was kind of neat to feel it.

Tired of hitting my helmet on the roof going over that lol
I got to know the system real in-depth when I broke it fixing my balancer, sensors everywhere, on the wheels, susp, steering wheel, yaw-rate and all that. I'm sure most newer cars all have it but cool as hell none the less.
A yaw-rate sensor is a gyroscopic device that measures a vehicle's angular velocity around its vertical axis. The angle between the vehicle's heading and vehicle actual movement direction is called slip angle, which is related to the yaw rate.
