As same with the argument of whether ABS is safer to have or not with braking conditions in different environments causing variable results in braking in distance although i would prefer to have this feature on during road conditions, but on a track i would prefer to have it turned off.

It's not a matter of opinion at all.
I have no problem with turning it off on the Track,but we've done heaps of tests proving its abilities in the real world.
One Audi day I did with Brad Jones was to show how these systems worked.
We had a dramatically flooded skid pan that the punters drove on with ESP on and Off.
The ESP won easily,even the Instructors couldn't beat it.
In the early days of these systems they were a bit crude.
ABS pulsed in 1/10th of a second increments.It was pretty easy for a decent steerer to out perform it.
Thanks to Formula 1 technology[from when they had ABS] bleeding through to road cars it now operates in milli-second increments.
Seriously,you can't beat that.
