PASM Sport or Normal on Track?

I am just wondering which delivers a faster time on the track, PASM Sport or Normal? What do the majority of drivers on this board prefer their setting at?

I don't have track time comparison, but I prefer to track in sport setting.

It depends on the surface condition of the track. Between normal and sport you will not see any difference in track time...maybe a pro would see a few tenths or a second.

i drive in sport mode on the track. More fun before PSM kicks in. Don't consider it faster or slower, just fun factor. Faster track times - the smoother the better, not necessarily because of sport mode or not. Some people drive with PSM off completely thinking its faster for them. Maybe so, depends on the driver ability and experience.

Sport mode for sure, the sport mode reduces the body role considerably.

NV997C2S is correct, if you leave PASM turned on as well, which I do. Much better handling.

I run in sport mode but with shocks in the softer setting as I am on a bumpy track and the car bounces and slides when the stocks are stiff. Sport is useful for the higher PSM limit and more aggressive throttle mappign which I find makes heel/toe a little faster.
