+1

it is a HUGE benefit to be able to turn DSC off and explore that.. I do kind of get irked by using a full day to only get like 10 min of driving time... still a good idea to try at least once

OP as for the risks, I have seen someone almost stuff their F80 into a light post (that was WELL away from the course) from trying to save a tank slapper. Could have just put 2 feet in and accepted the run was toast

I have popped some cones and the black mark scuffs off.. It is super low risk man.. just go do it already
