I wonder if the Traction Control is similar to the electronic differential on the Ferrari 430.

The F430 is equipped with both a variable locking rear diff (e-diff) and CST (traction/stability control).

TC in the GT3 will probably be like it is in the CGT, simply controlling wheelspin with no facility for yaw/stability control. The good thing about TC is when it is shut off, it doesn't automatically turn back on when you hit the brakes too hard, a la PSM.

I just finished walking through the Porsche dealer on the Ginza, in Tokyo. All the sales material is in English.
