It was flashing on corner exit but I didn't feel any noticeable intervention. And on 1 turn the was down hill right hander I could tell the car was getting light and as I tried to gradually apply throttle the TC kicked in with some ABS.

Anyway, I still have the stock tires although after the day they have a little wear particularly along the edges (only -1.3 camber). Would you recommend next track day try sport mode? Full off? I still have a lot of learning and practice to do just want to know what would be a good way to go about it so I don't become dependent on the TC.
First, it's excellent that you're paying attention to when the TC is kicking in!

Yes, try sport the first session or two, and if you're still getting it intervening minorly, try driving with it off. Keep in mind that you want to take it easy unless it's a safe spin for a potential off/spin; we want you to drive the car home after the event!

TC/VSC works in stages, and sometimes, it only reduces power, and other times it'll both reduce/cut power and use brakes to assist. It depends on what's going on.
