Re: Implementing Traction Control for an advantage in the 2009 game
One thing you must consider is that the dynamic coefficient of friction is actually related to speed. If you spin your wheels fast enough, your dynamic CoF will go down. If you are constantly spinning you will be pushed around by those that are not spinning their wheels.
