What track mode setting are you using?

[ULEWZ]

When I turn on Track Mode I can start to hear something start humming - almost like the HVAC compressor. I confirmed A/C was off and that the noise came on/off when toggling Track Mode a few times. I created a custom profile - Post-Drive Cooling and Compressor Overclock are DISABLED. The car had been sitting for 8 hours when turning on track mode.

What is this noise? Pump for battery cooling?

Yup, extra cooling.

I am a Corvette guy with a new P3D and love to hit the twisties around my area. I am not to thrilled with the handling to date due to the nannies. My question is, what is a good setting to use on the street when driving the twisties? I will probably turn off all the nannies, but not sure of an optimal front to rear bias.Thanks in advance.

For what you described I would use:

• Handling Balance: 50/50
• Stability Assist: +10
• Regen: 100%
• Compressor Overclock: Disabled

Lower the Stability Assist to +5 if it still seems too nanny.

I was wondering the same thing. I had originally thought the noise was the cooling system in overclock mode... but it doesn’t seem to go away when the overclock setting is disabled...

I like a little oversteer, so 45/55 is best.
0 is normal nannies, so why would I go up to +10. Seems counter intuitive and will cause your brakes to get hot.
Regen 100%, right on.

I went to 20/80 and stability assist up to -4, and it was still more than safe. You get more oversteer but still easy to control so it seems. Didn't do too many trials however.

Overclock is higher speed of compressor, not the fan. Fan always works full speed in track mode. A/C compressor cools coolant of batteries, motors and invertors below ambient temperature.

With Track Mode V2, when you reduce the Stability Control setting does it also reduce the Traction Control?

I suspect it is hinged to the system's tolerance for slip angles. But it's unclear whether that means slip in a straight line in addition to or just slip in a curve.

Ok, so if set it to full rear bias and you dial it down Stability to -10 and drop the hammer will it roast the rear tires if you keep it pointed straight? it would be nice if they decouple TC from Stability. I would prefer TC fully disabled but keep Stability around -5.

Is this your opinion or is this documented somewhere?

With 25/75 @ 0 stability, it didn't feel at all like "normal nannies" with Autocross for me.

I haven't tried that setting. So I don't know.

Was playing around with V2 in the twisties today. A little disappointed that there is clearly still significant traction control even at "minimum" stability assist. Tried out "drift preset" i.e. RWD w least stability assist, and it was still overly stable through the turns. Was much easier to spin out the rear tires in my old BMW M5, which had much less torque. Overall I felt the best mode was the "race preset", 50/50 front/rear, and middle stability assist. So fun!

I was going to ask if anyone has used this to enable fake LR mode by just using track mode with 100% to rear wheels. Then drive some distance and look at wh/mi to see if its worth it. I havent gotten a chance to try this out yet.

Under normal cruising the car already only uses the rear motor. So this wouldn't do anything.
