MDM is actually useful...

... when using power in normal mode. On a tip from a forum member I decided to try using the normal power mode on the track instead of sport or sport plus.

it made a huge difference.

when using sport plus power and MDM, TC would light up and cut power as soon as I got on the gas coming out of a turn. when using normal and MDM, I was able to get on the throttle and unwind the wheel at the same time finding the balance between throttle and steering. MDM cut in appropriately a few times when I was clearly too aggresive with the throttle and/or steering.

MDM still wont let you go into full drift mode or execute purposeful sliding, but I was able to take turns at the limit of tire grip without MDM cutting in. I was really surprised.

I had given up on MDM, until this past weekend. I hope to try again when I'm more familiar with the track and can drive more aggresively to see how much I can push the car and still have fun with MDM on.

the throttle mapping is just plain dumb. I don't need a computer telling me how aggresive to push the throttle, that's what my right foot is for. sport plus is pretty much useless outside of drag racing. it's just full throttle or nothing.
