    I've been driving in the ct/ setting. Today I tried race and it seems that the car runs better. It may be my imagination but throttle response seems better. How could this be?

    That's why it's called race mode.

    I would doubt it's throttle response, could be the electronics intervening more giving better traction which in turns feels like better response?

    I beleive the potentiometer for the throttle pedal is set to be more responsive in "race" than in "sport".

    But his question is between CT and Race. To me, CT should be just like Race but without the traction control nannies.

    That's why I made the post.
    Since new I've driven in CT/ thinking that it would be better than RACE because of no electronic intervention. Today for some reason I used Race and noticed the car felt different in a better way. When cruising at normal speeds and applying throttle the car seemed to "pick up" quicker. Could this be the F1 Trac system somehow delivering more torque.
