Default Wheel Slip

I was toggling thru the performance data and saw this showing 30% wheel slip on my right rear. Is this something that shouldn't be? Should they both be the same? I noticed yesterday when I did an aggressive downshift from 5th to 4th and nailing the gas. The rear end got a little loose for a second.

I've never played around with this, but your wheelslip shows 0%. I'd say it allows for a range of 0% to 30%.

eLSD and Wheel Slip are two different gauges:

The Wheels Slip (0% to 30%) shows exactly how much slippage is occuring... if you wheels are increasingly slipping then the eLSD diff lock % will also increase (up to 100%).

This. The graph is not showing 0% for the left tire, and 30% for the right tire. Instead it is showing a range of 0%-30% for both.

Interesting... does it vary depending on what driving Mode is used?

But then a remember a friend many years ago attended an SCCA driving school. He asked me what speed I achieved in a particular corner. I told him. He said if you're looking down and know the speed (we only had mechanical speedometers at the time) you're not going as fast as you could!

Not missing much. If I could, I would give you mine from my 2016!
