As mentioned by many of you, I really do think MDM is the good setting for those who are intermediate or new to a particular track. IMO DSC ON should be used for those that are jumping on a track for the first time; at least until confidence/logged hours are built up.
I do think MDM will save your ass, but as some have stated, it still does shave speed off the car; especially when getting on the gas post turn in....it was kicking in still more than i would have preferred...but i still did appreciated it more than not; and did not have the balls just yet to go full DSC off.
I also have a sneaking suspicion that DSC in MDM tends to kick in at times in a contradicting fashion. What i mean by that is, MDM will let you throw the back out and break the rear lose to a point and under certain circumstances. However, I did encounter times when I was coming in very hot to a turn, would brake very late, or even trail brake(lol) while turning, and then gas hard during/post apex....DSC would come on......despite the back not sliding out, simply just changing dynamics quickly. I think this is attributed to the calculation settings of the DSC programming taking into account speed, braking, steering, etc etc, all at the same time.....the car probably thought i was trying to avoid an accident and starting cutting power
Anyhow, food for thought!
