I am willing to listen, I am not sure if you autocrossed your formula car, but it is my understanding that an open dif will load up the power to one wheel in a turn more than the other and I am running sticky tires. Most of our AX courses are run counter clockwise so there are a lot of left turns. So I am approaching a cone fast, brake, quickly turn left, then floor it, the rear end kicks to the right. The same thing happens in a quick right turn the rear end kicks to the left. It was my understanding that in an open dif the inside tire, the left tire in a left turn, had more power that the outside tire and was overpowering that tire and pushing the rear to the outside. I don’t get wheel spin, just a twitch to the outside and costing me a couple of tenths of a second.
