Default TCS question

I'd like to know when racing from a stop not a roll is it better to have the traction control on or off? I keep reading that you want the best traction out of the hole.

If you have no way of controlling your feet, the TCS is better left on.

When datalogging some 0-60s, I chopped a half second off my time when going from TCS launch to no TCS. Both times I let the clutch out at about 2200ish but I had much less spin the second time with TCS off.

So I would turn the TCS off everytime, if for no other reason than to teach your legs how to do it right.

Defently off, TCS can rob power to the wheels.

Thanks my concern was gaining time or loosing time, I haven't raced in a looooong time. I'll have to get a feel for it again with the TCS mode on off. Thanks for the information
