Learn about Forza Horizon 5's Traction and Stability Control Assist, its pros and cons, and how different settings affect your driving.
Traction and Stability Control is an assist designed to prevent you from spinning out or driving off the racing line. However, it can sometimes interfere with your intended driving, for example, by preventing a sharp turn if the game incorrectly detects a spin, potentially allowing opponents to overtake you.
For newer players to Forza Horizon 5, this assist can be beneficial. As you gain experience, you may find that disabling it leads to improved driving performance.
Settings and Performance Impact:
- Traction Control System (TCS) and Stability Management (STM) enabled: 0% performance increase.
- STM only enabled: +5% performance increase.
- TCS only enabled: +5% performance increase.
- TCS and STM disabled (Off): +10% performance increase.
Tips
- Consider disabling Traction and Stability Control as you become more comfortable with the game's handling to potentially achieve better lap times.
- Experiment with disabling only one of the assists (TCS or STM) to find a balance between control and performance.
