Track Mode - Traction Control

[RBGT]

I want to drive with the stiffest MR mode which is track mode.

Unfortunately, you can't set the MR shocks independently of drive mode.

When selecting "Track Mode" the yellow traction control symbol turns on meaning its off?

When you press the traction Control botton, its says "Traction Control On" but the yellow sysmbol is still there.

Question: In Track Mode - Can you have traction control on?

Maybe if you use FORSCAN you can option it. The point behind traction control being off in track mode is because the car thinks you are "tracking" it and upon identifying a wheel that is losing its grip on the road (happens a lot when tracking), the system automatically applies the brakes to that individual one or cut down the car's engine power to the slipping wheel. I always turned off TC when road racing, except when raining...it helped...a little.

Thanks. Don't have forscan yet, I suspect you can't mess with these modes yet.

I've noticed the TC on these aren't very responsive.
You easily get a lot of wheelspin in almost every mode.
Still, its a new car and I'd like the engine to cut/reduce power when it detects loss of traction.

It for "spirited" canyon driving at relatively higher speeds.
Stiff shocks would be good.
TC should be helpful - I think.

Did you try setting a custom profile, with base mode as track, but changing traction setting to On?

Naa, don't need no stinking TC for canyon roads. Ran the Tail of the Dragon in 2012 with a Roush Owner/Enthusiasts Club, had about a dozen Roush 427R's running all over Deals Gap, ran the Cherohala Skyway one day too, altitude changes were awesome.
Sorry, digressed for a moment. Anyway, we ran the Tail with TC off and it was great. Wife didn't care for it, when she'd look out the pax window, all she would see were very steep drop offs. Didn't realize how dangerous we were driving till we viewed the Go Pro's....we were nuts.

As you've confirmed, TC is unavailable in Track Mode. The next closest mode with TC would be Sport+.

I did some Googling to see if TC could be enabled in Track Mode via a tuning device, but could find no reference.

To go one step further, while in Track Mode, AdvanceTrack and/or stability control can also be disabled. See comments in the following thread:

Does anyone know if this works? I tried to set it but the Traction Control Off light was still displayed. Don't know if this is a software glitch or if it's actually not possible to have TC on in Track mode.

I think this is partial traction off, not the entire system off.

I just tried it now, and indeed the TC light is on.
