Hi Everyone! I'm an energetic older guy who had a C6 for a couple years and recently moved up to a 2015 z51 Stingray. Been on the track a few times with the C6, but I'm still a novice. I'm wondering what driving mode I should use at the track in the C7, given my age and inexperience. Any suggestions?
Glad to be a member of Corvette Forum!

Welcome! Start with Sport Mode, when you get more confidence and learn the track then Track Mode.. once your into track mode there are many levels withing track mode to explore.. but be careful what you turn off..

Welcome to the forum and I agree with starting in Sport Mode and then working your way to the Track Mode.

Welcome to the Forum, Peter, and congratulations on your move to a C7!
I still run a C5 and use the CYEAHO setting (Close Your Eyes And Hang On
