I definitely prefer sport mode ON because at least you have a better feeling for the limits of the car. But I'll leave TC in the partially on/off (sport) because it allows you to more smoothly regain from a skid.
I was going to ask about these modes, then I found this video, found it useful to help me understand what I'm up against.. I agree with a prev comment by the experience track driver, that it's a matter of when and not if.. especially here in snow country.
