Do you want Track Mode for P3D Stealth?

[Jeffers0n]

That is awesome! I can't wait! Is sentry mode also included in this update?

I didn't see it. Above the Track Mode note was Dog Mode.

Thanks, too bad. I guess we'll get another update for the 5% power bump too next week.

Hopefully I would love to have it before the Tesla Corsa event on the 31st.

Forget track mode... Auto-Folding mirrors based on location?!

aside from being cool to have, will any stealth P owners really regularly use track mode? just curious. I have a P3D+ and don't ever see myself using it.

Yes. It is not shown in the release notes but its there in the security menu.

Yea, that's in there too.

Are you kidding? Right after my car updated I took it in the mountains to throw it around and see what it can do. It's awesome. I will be using this a lot, on track and off.

Frankly I don't see why these two features in track mode shouldn't be part of the default configuration:
1. significantly stronger regen braking
2. overdrive (proper) cooling to prevent the performance limiting dots which were a real pain in my day to day driving

With Track Mode the car finally drives as it should. To bad you have to turn it on every time. I don't see a good reason for ever not using it.

I'm taking mine to Buttonwillow on the 31st. One of hopefully many track and mountain days in the future.

I am away from my M3 at the moment and I also don't know it has updated -- but -- if this is true and the P3D- has track mode then I am satisfied! Congrats my fellow P3D- owners!

yeah!! I am definitely bringing this to the auto-x with track mode and having some fun. i regularly track an E46 M3, i doubt i would really take this instead since that one is so track prepped but at least once.

I am still somewhat worried about abuse to the battery by track mode if you really drive the crap out of it like you would on the track for those that have some experience and are familar with the venue... thoughts? If you are in a novice group, no worries.

You'll be fine, because as you know, auto-x is a typically short course with plenty of time between runs.

It takes some hard consecutive laps longer than 2+ minutes before you start to reach the thermal limits of the system.

Definitely report back, so we can hear your experience with it.

totally agree auto-x will be fine. I was more worried about laps at watkins glen if you already drive towards the limit with an ICE
