Default PDR Playback Question

My Z doesn't have PDR. Just got back from Spring Mountain with SD card of my laps. Noticed in playback, screen shows white car gif on screen. Not sure if this represents abs or ah activating. Can someone clarify?

TIA

I looked at a vid on my PDR where I was really spinning the tires -- I believe it showing "traction control active"

Are you talking about the "skidding car" icon like in the upper right in the picture below??



If so, I believe it's indicating that the Active Handling/StabiliTrak is active at that time.

The picture above is of the car running in Sport 1 (you can see that indicated just above the RPM at the bottom of the display).

In Sport 1 AH is still on, even though the DIC indicates that it's not - but the Track Sport 1 mode says "Active Handling ON". I believe it's in something like the Competitive Driving mode on a car without PTM, or like the Comp mode in my C6 Z06 - AH still on, but not so sensitive, so it lets the car go a little farther before it intervenes.

The pictures above is in the brake zone where I'm slowing down on the tri-oval to go around T1 into the infield. Watching the video I can see about 3 or 4 flashes of that icon (just on for an instant each time) until you can see in the picture below where I'm tracking-out of T1 that Sport 1 is no longer indicated on the PDR display.

I'm not sure what happened, but I'm thinking there was so much AH intervention going on that it just gave up and went back to full on and dropped out of Sport 1 and into just the basic non-PTM Track mode. Sport 1 dropped out just before I took the screenshot below.

Yes, that is the symbol. Just couldn't figure out what it was implying .. I was seeing it in braking areas.
