I don't know the answer to that, yet.

But I'm going to try.

Here's the logic behind that:
- none of my high-speed motorcycles had/have DSC or ABS.
- none of the cars and trucks I've owned since 1982 have had DSC.
- I used to drive at high-speed for a living, and back then there was no DSC.
- Now that I've accomplished one entire set of four laps (I'm an "expert" --LOL) at MSRH with full-DSC and using automatic mode on the DCT, it is time to experiment and gradually taking off the nanny-stuff and see what happens.
- First set of laps will be with all the nanny-stuff.
- Second set of laps will be in S-mode to learn to throw the dual-clutch around and get the timing for the entrance/exit of the turns.
- Third set of laps will be in MDM mode to gauge the car's handling (and mine, to be honest).
- Fourth and final set will be with DSC "off." (Assuming the 3rd set went without doing a lawn mower maneuver.)

(Poster has the right to say 'Frak it" at any stage and apply liberal nanny-stuff as needed!)
