Default Ice racing and traction control settings.

Do you guys use full traction control settings when ice racing or do you turn off stage 1 as if you are on a dry track?

Speaking of which, do you run full traction control when running a wet track? I suppose it also has to do with your skill level.

I would turn off the ESP/traction control completely for any track duty.

Especially for ice racing! You need some slip angle to corner at speed.
