As an argument to my lack of understanding/tuning of the ediff,

The recent drift world record by the 2018 M5, I've been looking and looking as to the technical changes they made to accomplish this feat. Bupkis.
But I don't feel it's that out of line in thinking that they made changes to the control modes to make the car accomplish this. It's so computer controlled that it should be self evident IMO.
Thinking that, I don't see that a straight mechanical diff is the end all/be all for the ultimate handling machine or the best driftorz car. There needs to be a balance of both the mechanical and the electronic.


I know full well that the amount of TQ I try to put down is too much for the tires and the diff out of corners. If I WOT the car will not step out, it's just gone right now. It can't react fast enough. The ediff will kick in before the mechanical though. But when I turn power down, the mechanical hits before the ediff. So there is a correlation error I need to work on adjusting. I just haven't had the conditions to play enough yet.
