Schumacher have this to say...

It is possible to run the cat with the diff in a high or low position, when running on tracks with large jumps using the diff in a high position causes more drive shaft plunge. The added friction of this can Help make the car more stable on landing when under power. This setting could also help with traction on loose surfaces. On normal tracks we would recommend running the diff in the low position for reduced driveshaft friction.
