C7 of Year Finalist (track prepared) 2019
Default PTM S1, S2, Race

I have a question that I am having trouble putting into words. Please forgive me if it comes out confusing.

I am confused by the PTM spectrum.

Does it go from very alert traction/stability control (S1) to almost none (race). If this theory is correct, Race mode will let me slide around a lot more.

Or does it go from loose (lots of oversteer) in S1, to buttoned up (very little oversteer) in race?

Killer. Thank you.

Seems counter-intuitive that race would allow you to slide deeper and longer than sport. The longer the slide, the slower the lap.

As long as you are highly skilled, race allows you to go faster because the nannies aren't slowing you down by cutting power or braking a wheel or two.

It's not progressive. Active Handling is OFF in sport 2 and Race. You don't slide further, you just spin. All you have is progressively modified traction control that allows a more aggressive map.
