Can't agree with that. Different drivers favour one or other of torque sensing and clutch type but my experience and understanding has always been in favour of the clutch type because as soon as you lift a driving wheel off the ground the torque sensing diff becomes an open diff, in order for it to work both wheels must have complete contact with the ground. The clutch type will remain engaged when a wheel lifts under cornering (over a curb for instance).
Racers prefer the clutch type because they are more predictable and also generally adjustable through the number of plates etc.
