The competitive driving mode disables the traction control, but the active handling function remains operational.

It deactivates traction control so it doesn't reduce the throttle when wheel spin is detected so you can have more fun in a straight line. But it keeps active handling on to make correction if you try to do something stupid.

Got it straight yet? If not, one more time:
Active Handling/Traction Control
Active Handling= computer controls wheel slippage by appling the brakes.
Traction control= computer controls wheel slippage by reducing throttle responce.
Active Hand/ Traction Cont. off= both off
Active Hand./ Traction Cont. on= both on
Competative Driving Mode = Traction Cont. off and Active Handling on
Active Handling/Traction Control

Active Hand/ Traction Cont. off= both off
Active Hand./ Traction Cont. on= both on

Re: Competitive Driving????? (dallasvette)
The car is definitely more entertaining with the competitive mode enabled.
However, the downside to having the competitive driving mode on is the information center will only display this as a message, so you can't check your other digital information. I guess this is a safety precaution to keep you from forgetting it's set on competitive mode.
