@86league you can do the 3s/5s (same thing, people just get impatient and it feels like 20s) at speed in the older cars. The two yellow lights are the indicator that you're in the 'tc off' mode.

I am hearing different opinion on the ABS, some people says keep it, some take it out. Cannot make a clear path here.
I am running a NA, tuned, BBK race compound pads with 200 tires. Doing HPDE events. which should the advisable progression be as a driver? Learning how to brake without ABS or keep it running. What does faster times make for this platform? With or without ABS, assuming driver has the correct skills. |

I don't think there's a lot in it in terms of absolute lap times. Should be a slight advantage with ABS vs. perfect non-ABS braking, more significant advantage overall as not many can brake perfectly every for every corner, every lap. I had been meaning to try it as I get a 42 lb. weight break for time trials with ABS disabled, then I was kinda forced into trying it (malfunction causing ABS to lock front tires!). AFter running without ABS for a few events, and flat-spotting a Hoosier A7 last time out, bad enough that I had to time trial on street tires (doh!), next year I'm planning to use it again.

I didn't push any of the track buttons so everything would be normal and on. This was only my second time to do this so I am still learning what is happening with my car. It was overwhelming at times but lots of fun. |

VSC light flashing I think just means it's intervening "normally". I think you'd see that in "Track" mode, but you shouldn't in 3/5-second hold mode. |

the reality is that ABS systems have gotten extremely good. and until you're at the very upper levels of competition, i'm not convinced that the ABS system of this vehicle will ever hold you back-- i'm now more convinced that it can actually keep one from getting too far past their limits, unless there's a serious malfunction like zdan experienced.
