Cornering

So I took a turn the other day, and yes I gave some gas around the 90 degree corner…. I had everything set to comfort and the traction control on. The back end started sliding out a bit, and when I counter steered just a bit the car drastically recentered to the course I had directed it to… like it abruptly corrected too much. So question … is this where MDM or traction control off will allow me to gradually get it to slide in either direction until I gain traction and go. Sorry, this kind of stuff is hard to describe and I'm sure to understand … but if you have any idea how to describe what the difference would be, that would be great. I just didn't felt the response to countersteer long was so abrupt.

You should do the same corner again but with mdm mode and see what it does

I think what you felt was TC intervention. There's a hairpin turn near my house that I wanted to powerslide a bit. In both regular DSC On mode and MDM modes I would try to spin the wheels but when the car felt the slide it totally cut power. Only in DSC Off could I spin the tires and drift the corner without interference from the nannies.

My MDM was coded Euro.
