Maybe better to say it "helps you" rather than "keeps you".

For the road course, traction control is usually turned off as it pulls the power exiting a corner if you get back on the throttle too soon and spin a tire, then you have wait helplessly for the engine to come back. Although these newer systems seem to restore power sooner than earlier ones. Also we find that there is often more rear brake pad wear than on the front because the system sometimes will use the rears against the throttle. Thus the reasons for T/C off at the track. Similarly the Advance track can intervene when you want some minor oversteer. Thus the vaunted in-between Sport mode. But again in my estimation, all off at the track and all on on the street. Don't need no stinkin' Sport mode. Right guys.

In my other post, I may have erred in my example of a right turn understeer condition. In that case the computor might use some right front or right rear brake in an attempt to correct. It's trying to slow the right side down so the car will pivot right. i.e. set up an oversteer condition to counter the understeer. Very simplistical explanation I know, but thats the way I try to think it out.
In other words if you enter a corner too fast you will not go off the road facing forward (understeer) or backward (oversteer), but sideways if the system works as advertised. LOL.

Drive safe.

Cheers.
