@Lice23 I tried the modifications you suggested. TC doesn't activate when you finish races or restart races at the middle of the race. But it still activates when you restart a race at the results screen and when you finish a practice race.

It's probably something about restarting a race at the results screen that triggers the TC.

Yeah that seems to happen in some places, haven't been able to pinpoint exact conditions for the steering to seemingly stop working, though.
By the way, I was looking at VltEd and found some settings that seem to have permanently shut off TC, at least in the few tests I've made (3 different tracks with 2 different cars). I edited fe_global > driver_assist_levels > king > 0x114391f1 and 0x396acd01. Normally they're 1, 2, 0, 1, 0, 0 and 2, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0 respectively, I set them to all 0s and so far so good.

@Lice23 Oh i forgot to mention. This game has a weird hidden assist that interferes with the steering. If you look at the wheels while turning at some corners, you'll see the wheels won't turn properly even if you steer all the way. That can cause inconsistent steering sometimes, i'm looking for a way to disable that.

Overall assists in this game are either weird or buggy, TC seems to be hard coded to be on if some conditions met.

Oh ok, I see... I found it strange because at the beginning of the corner there seems to be grip, but midway through, the car almost stops turning altogether, is that also how it is for you? I'm just trying to make sure that something else I changed in the games settings isn't screwing up the handling changes you made. Also, even with your mod on and on king mode, I still have the TC light come on occasionally, not sure if this is unremovable or not.

@Lice23 I tried it and i don't think there is a problem with it. It's happening because of the changes to the steering system. Cars now turn less at higher speeds, so you need to brake a bit when going into high speed corners. Steering change is mostly noticeable at Tokyo which have a lot of high speed corners.
