*raises hand*

Run in I, no questions asked.  Personally, I run with all nannies off.  The few times I ran with competition mode on I ended up tricking the computer and it slowed me way down.  Turn it off so you control where the car goes.

I ran in competition mode yesterday & also at the driving school. If you get the car sideways out of wack enough it will kick in a little but in my case it was not enough to slow me down.

At some point when you push hard enough, the car will end up locking down and understeering quite a bit.  At least that's what my experience is.  You want the car to understeer ever-so slightly so it can rotate through corners and the only way I can truly achieve that is to go ESC off.

I'll have to try it all the way off, maybe it's hindering me more than I think.
