Any experiences or advices?
Turn it off to full green.
Will give slight rearward bias.
That's what I do.

Full open? Are you shure about this? Well, I'll try but I expected some complicated answer. Thanks!

Fully open if dry or just over the notch works very well.
Wet settings... not sure I have got these right yet :D ;)

Mine is fully open for everything!
having said that when I'm on track in the wet I'm not looking to set as fast a time as poss, unlike Duncan, so for me fully open is rather enjoyable!

Fully open in the wet is VERY enjoyable if there isnt armco around ;)
Having said that I had DCCD set in auto on my crash which in hindsight was probably not the best setting.

O.k. full open, then! Well, first time on track so I have thousands of questions but I'll be smarter after track day! Thanks!
SineSTI if its your first time out on track if its available I would take an instructor out with you costs about £20 but well worth it you will learn more in 20 mins with the instructor than driving all day without as for dccd I would leave it in auto for the first couple off sessions until you get used to the car at race speeds then if you feel more confident then switch it into manual and have a play.

I would say 1 up from fully open (i.e. first green notch you come to) until you are confident enough to open fully. I only use auto in the wet on the road and use the first green arrow I mentioned in the dry. Feels more planted IMHO.
I haven't tracked it myself yet though tbh. Let me know how it goes.

I was speaking to Litchfields about this who said "Diff open (or 1 up from open) is most entertaining, but to get fastest laps, keep DCCD in Auto".

...........to get fastest laps, keep DCCD in Auto".
:wonder: In my experience lap times are significantly improved with the diff fully open, certainly in the dry.
In the wet, drifts do need greater finess to control in this mode so auto may be the setting you'd feel more comfortable if you're into drifting, if your a smooth and tidy wet driver, lapping with the diff open is still quickest.
Dynamix, in the 'wet' :eek: warmup Oulton session I was running in auto, as the standing water cleared I ran open. Somewhere like Bedford Autodrome I am far quicker in the wet leaving in auto and drifting although there's no need for large cojones as the circuit is far more open only having one section of armco :cool:

Zak, is the Blobeye DCCD exactly the same?

What is this 'auto' option you speak of? ;) Then again I don't even have ABS :D

Track day done! It was perfect fun for me. To be honest, I was driving in "Auto" mode all the time on the track. I feel "safe" like this. Well, it was my first time. Next time, I'm going to experiment. Car is perfect, tires are amazing on track (RE070) for my driving, off course. Nice day!

RE070's are fantastic tyres :D
RE070's are fantastic tyres :D
Yup but the left hand ones fairly melt at knockhill in the dry :D not that its dry there much!

Great to see you had a good track day.
With AWD, I don't think we ask too much of the DCCD unless we completely lose it and keep the right foot planted.
The tip to pay £20 for instruction is a good call as well.
There is a Silverstone trackday on the SIDC site that may interest you.:)
Bit of a drive for you though!
