Default active handling competition mode

I HAVE READ THAT HOLDING THE ACTIVE HANDLING BUTTON DOWN FOR A FEW SECONDS ACTIVATES COMPETITION MODE. WILL SOMEONE EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHAT TAKES PLACE AND WHAT IT DOES? I PUT MINE IN COMP. MODE LAST NIGHT just to see if it lit up on the dash. It did, now what? (Oops, had caps lock on) Thanks for input on this.

You're most welcome. Do be careful though when you turn both AH/TC off or just the TC off (Competitive Mode). Several here have learned the hard way that these cars can get away from you very quickly.
