A8 track mode ???
I understand this mode can't not just be selected but must be earned so to speak.
Do we know what parameters are monitored to engage this mode ???
Is there any visual indication that the tranny is in this mode ?? Like maybe the gear indicator being amber in color like when rev match is active.

Do you change your forum I'd with each new generation?
It is interesting that a driver can not just push a button but rather has the transmission activate track mode with certain driving characteristics....

Without knowing exactly how the track or performance mode operates it is hard to tell why it is not user selectable. I could see where it might not be street friendly.
It is probably a little harder on the drive train so GM is limiting it to the 1 or 2 % that will track the car.

Very possible...Hopefully there will be more than 2 modes (user selectable or not) to accommodate various driving situations.
