I hate the traction control. It totally kills
you exiting a turn hard. It holds the car and
power back. Mine is off all the time.

Default Whatever the benefits may be on the street (if any), it is greatly outweighed by that one moment

when you need it the most. So the answer is, it's always on, and even sometimes during the first lap on the track when I forget to turn it off, and can't figure out why can't I power out of the turn.

When "racing", ESP off. All other times, ESP on. Better safe than sorry. Always better safe.

Default Depends...

On during the daily grind to work and back. My mind isn't 100% concentrated on the driving task at hand. It could be the difference between a close call and something nasty.

Off during canyon carving and other spirited driving.
