Discovered that when ESP comes into play an orange light flashes on the dash to tell you that...

Had a great drive down to Wisemans Ferry and back.

Theres a solution to this problem, press the ESP button on the dash to keep the yellow light on... and delay ESP kick-in (prob designed in Opposite world where On light means Off ESP?!?!!

)

I'm pretty keen to test it out on the track to find the limits with it on and off. I'd feel bad if i put it into a tree coz i had the ESP off!

Yeah - ESP on when driving on public roads is the best bet

My post was purely in jest... but sometimes I disable it for cruises especially hill roads.

I also believe that the ESP still kicks in if the computer sences an idiot manuovere has been made.

Sorry, my post wasn't meant as a comment on yours!

I believe you're right - I don't think the ESP can be totally disabled on our cars - the point at which it cuts in is all you can adjust I believe.

I'll hopefully have my car on the track soon and should be able to report back on this!
