Default Reason for asking this is because I will be doing a good bit of Auto-X

this season and can't see ESP being a good thing when Auto-x'ing. Driving on public roads with it turned off does make a diffrence though.

Cheers,
Jim

Default if you know how to properly drive, definitely leave ESP off at the track.

it CAN intervene and do very strange things at the limit.
