I used to automatically do the long press off as soon as I started the car. But then I got some really bad tires that had no grip at all in the wet. So if the road was wet, I would leave everything on. It's amazing how well the TC works. If you can keep the car straight while the tires are spinning then the car is happy and allows the wheels to spin. But as soon as you start to go sideways it applies the appropriate brakes to keep going straight.
It really is alot of fun to try to keep the car straight while you merrily spin your tires down the road. The big problem with TC is when you pull into traffic expecting to accelerate and the engine cuts out because you're starting to slide sideways.
Scary as hell.
Since I got new tires it's long press time again.
