GT PP Driving Modes (Non-Premium)

[MurderPony]

I've searched and red my owners manual and I'm still confused.

I understand:
-Push TC button once turns Off TC leaves Stability Control in Normal mode.
-Hold Button several seconds turns Off everything

I don't understand:
-Pushing the TC button twice changes to Sport Mode for Stability Control but leaves the TC On? It seems like I can be in Sport Advance Trac with TC On or Off?

If so why would I want Sport Advance Trac with TC On?

You cant, in Sport Mode t/c is on. If you are in Sport you can not shut off t/c. Stability control uses traction control to keep you out of trouble.

I know I'm the one looking for help but I don't think that is correct. If you push the button once it turns Off TC but the Stability Is still On. If you hold the button for 8 seconds it tells you both TC and Stability are Off.

So I know Normal Stability Control doesn't need TC turned on.

What I can't figure out is Sport Advancetrac Mode.

two quick pushes puts it in sport mode. T/c is still on. On track I find not much difference between everything on and sport other than a little more freedom. Everything off gives me faster lap times. On the street I just leave everything on, I have nothing to prove. Sport will allow a lot more yaw but it is hard on the rear brakes. I have never run on track with just t/c off so I can't speak to that. My feeling is that it is off in a straight line but will still keep you from spinning (excessive yaw)

Thanks Tim! You've had yours on the track I only have 700 miles so I'll take your word for it

no problem, we debated this a while back and it finally dawned on me that for stability control to work t/c still needed to be active to control the yaw of the car. Let's just say running hard with an M4 with everything on (because I thought it was off) makes lots of funny marks on your rear rotors My car still gets pretty sideways on the street with everything on. On track it would pull me out of my seat mid corner trying to straighten the car. I had to pit and shut everything off, and then run my fastest lap time to that point.
