You need another option because none of the 3 fit my situation. TCS is on (even with FI) - except for when I'm at the track

Possibly didn't clarify but I was looking at it as on the public streets. In which case you'd probably choose option 1. Sorry if I lacked details.

TCS has cut spark too many times when I go WOT. Now, I habitually turn it off as soon as I start the car unless the weather sucks.

Just depends on how I feel..... Most of the time it is in sport mode unless I am be wild.

I did find out that I can shut off traction control while rolling if I lightly touch the brake pedal (brakes are not applied) and select the TC option I want as I normally would.
