Default Tracking with ADS

Any opinions about how the ADS in dynamic performs at the track? Specifically, does the suspension hold up to the demands of the track with the character of a traditional suspension, and does the steering ratio have a natural feel (As opposed to either having an electronically artificial feel). Regarding suspension, then, does bound and rebound seem like a traditonal setup, and does the steering feel connected rather than "manufactured/video gamey"....

I think the ADS suspension is fine for everyone except for an expert. Most likely you will run out of nerves before the car runs out of grip. The steering is, I believe, not that great. With the steering set on daynamic it can get artificially heavy without rendering more feel. Active steering on Audi I believe is not that great. I had a 2008 Mercedes C350 and that car had way more steering feel than my S4 with ADS. Suspension wise the S4 can run circles around the Benz. You learn to adjust based on your car as time passes.
