HAHA I knew that was coming!!!
Turning off ESP turns off TC AND the skid control element of ESP. I've done a couple of car control courses with the car and it offers help somewhere between the region of zero and f%$k all! So no need to "turn it off further". I have it off all time now anyway.
I really dont mind health and safety as long as you can turn it off (actually thats bull54!t health and safety's gone far too far and I hate it as a result!) - on a car like this we should be able to turn off ABS for track days etc
I'll check out the link, look into the cost of a new ECU and no doubt decide that it's not worth it and just to save my money for a new car that doesn't try to double up as my grandma...probably a Caterham
