Great, thanks. I've done about a dozen track days with my lotus elise in the past three years and I'm comfortable with driving on track. Planning to shift manually using paddles.

I wonder which nannies to disable. I don't really need any of them if the track is dry but would like to keep ABS on. Have AP Racing Sprint BBK and Carbotech XP12 for track.

Also, which nannies should be left on if the track is wet, just in case? Will bring shaved toyo proxes RA-1 for dry and Michelin PSS for wet.
