    Beyond the obvious mistake of a long straight then a tight corner, it does well at applying braking to keep the car in place. Not seen one get it wrong on the 'ring yet.
    Have had an owner tell me tho' that he's never been so bored going so fast He switched off the TC and said slower, but enjoyed the car more.
    a couple of years ago I almost ended in the hay bales at the first righthander of the Goodwood Hillclimb. The CEO of Nissan UK almost lost the GTR....I was merely a passenger.

    Sounds like "so was he"
    Being a businessman even in the car industry doesn't mean a capable driver !!
    Sounds like he made the noob mistake I cited ... ie going TOO FAST to a corner.

    I remember he mentioned that he was not a racing driver, so maybe he wanted to prove that..

    The problem with reliance on such devices is that you are able to travel a lot faster into trouble.

    I think AWD is the best. You need not to choose which will work. Make all wheels function and get good speed.

    Traction control was always the first thing I switched off after turning the key.
