Nice one chap. I raced a bmw 330ci a while back in early morning when it was slightly damp. There were a few corners involved and on the exits i couldnt stick with it cuz my car just kept spinning up in 2nd. He had no problems cuz he had traction control lol

Traction control doesn't give you more grip though. It simply cuts power when the wheels lose traction, stopping the car go into oversteer on a rwd car like the Beemer.

The reason they're getting better traction is because as they accelerate, the weight of the car transfers to the rear wheels, which are the driven wheels. In a Clio, the weight transers away from the driven wheels.

185/55s are standard. But a lot of people put 195/50s on there, 'cos they're cheaper. I think a few people even have 195/45s. Never heard of someone on 40 profile before though
