@wparsons This is the kind of intervention I am talking about. I cut down your quote on purpose because I agreed with the rest. For such a low powered car, the system is highly intrusive. When you let the car correct your mistakes, you aren't learning. Sometimes those corrections can even be dangerous.

VSC isn't for high powered cars... TC is (to control wheelspin), VSC keeps a car from spinning out. You can spin a car with way less HP by lifting off the throttle at the wrong time.

My whole point is that if you don't have the skills to correct it yet, you shouldn't be disabling the system on a track. You should be learning basic car control on a skidpad or autox where it's more controlled and speeds are lower.

That I totally agree with. I think we're saying the same thing from different perspectives.
