I woudl say off for sure, just cuase TC acts as a brake... and slows you down, but if im wrong someone correct me.

Default RE: traction control

the TC works when you spin your tires by aplying the brakes lightly, so it can be good or bad. you can turn it off but you might just burn out, it helps to have good tires and work on how fast you launch

leave it off, your right foot is the only traction control you need

Off... but if it never engages during whatever you're doing, there will be ZERO difference.
