I checked my videos from last season and unfortunately any of the angles that show the dash, the steering wheel blocks the area where the light is.
I do have onboard video from my buddies 2014, showing his traction light turning on multiple times within a single run, even with the 'long press'.

Also, in 'track mode'. Mine intervenes pretty quick. It's good, and I like it, but it seems to intervene sooner then the OP alluded to. I get maybe 5-10 degrees of angle and it'll jump in and straighten her out.

This ^^

Friends don't let friends use track mode. It's slow.

I agree. I just brought it up because my perception of how soon it intervenes is different then the OP.

I typically use track mode for daily driving and the 'long press' for all racing.

I've been wondering - which "big ABS fuse" do I pull to turn off the ABS? I want to do some testing with the ABS completely off, I assume the brakes then just work the old fashioned way.

Two ABS fuses, ABS-1 is 40-amp big fuse. Other one is ABS-2, 25-amp smaller fuse, if you remove it every warning light comes on and car won't rev above some lowish rpm (4000ish IIRC). Pulling the 40-amp fuse kills all ABS and stability control. I drove it that way at Watkins Glen after ABS/VSC computer went kinda Hal9000 on me... No problem tracking it with that fuse pulled.
