I think it's important for us all to keep being reminded of that. This PSM stuff can create a false sense of security, which can be dangerous on public roads at high speeds. I never turn PSM off, but I drive as though it's off (ie, I don't rely on it).

At PSDS the instructors said to use PSM as a tool to let you know when you have messed up.

It's great there are tracks around so we can see where the limits are safely.

Sounds like it was on...its the stability management system and you guys did the throttle snap oversteer with it on. You were certainly flying.
AH yes - override PSM. it's a button on the console with an icon of a car with twisty sliding marks behind it.

No we left it alone.

Sport Plus raises the threshold of the PSM system.
