Not at all. Suggest you don't for safety sake. Even when autocrossing I leave it active. Competitive mode is good. That gets rid of the traction control but leaves the AH active. My .02

Find an empty BIG parking lot.... Turn everything off.. Stomp on it, then add in a 30 degree turn (either way).
See how fast the brain can think WFT before you say WTF
Then, humbled, turn it back on.

Obviously if you have wet or slippery roads keep it on, but otherwise you can turn it on/off as desired. I usually kept mine on though - never know when you might need it.
