Default Race Mode parameters?

I've seen the charts explaining how the different modes (wet, eco, tour, sport and track) relate to the steering, exhaust, stability control, etc. My searches have not yielded any info as to how Race Mode alters parameters. Which settings does it affect and what does it change beyond Track Mode?
Also, when steering is changed, is it just the effort or is it also the ratio?

You're getting things confused. Steering is adjusted independently of traction management. PTM has 5 modes - traction control decreases with each mode and the last two (sport 2 and race) have no yaw control. Then you can disable everything if you want.

Track mode increases the dampening over sport (and sport over tour).

I understand, but the steering feel changes as you go from wet to eco to tour to sport to track. The chart does indicate that, too. More simply stated, what changes from track to race?

Steering shouldn't change unless you've got it set to auto. Race is a "sub-mode" of track and only traction management and yaw control will change.
