Default Steering issue while on track

I was on track at Thunderhill last week and had multiple episodes of a tugging in the steering wheel in a high speed turn. It only happened in turn 1 after braking from around 130 to about 85 midcorner. I recall about 3 short discrete tugs to the right in the left hand turn around mid corner. I was running track mode, race 2. It was suggested that maybe the traction control is not fully off so the next session I turned everything off. It still did it on one lap but was not consistent. No issues anywhere else on the track. One other C8 driver, faster than me, noted it happened once to him in the same turn.
Thoughts? Traction control still on? I pushed the TCS/ESC button for about 10 sec and both lights came on.
Any one else have this happen?

Pete
