A good drill would be to keep DSC on and still try to be fast with it. DSC only kicks in if you lose traction. If you are smooth there are few places that it would kick in. If you keep sport mode off and be smooth with the throttle there is less chance the DSC will kick in. DSC is more active with street tires because they don't have as much grip as R-compounds.
I agree that DSC should be off with an advanced driver but if it's kicking in all over the track then I would keep it on and use it to be smooth.

I used to whole heartedly agree with your comments about DSC (I
never turn Sport On), and maybe I still do in a general sense, but I really feel it all depends on the track layout. My instructors have always complimented me on my smoothness and I'm more apt to think other drivers on the track are very green and just really slow before I even consider the fact that it might actually be me who's really fast, so I'm not coming at this like some know-it-all prick. But my experience is that for track layouts that are both
tight (lots of curves, very few straights) and very
technical (off-camber or up-hill or combos or all of the above in multiple corners), DSC will do much more harm than good if you're pushing the car at all. In some cases, the car really does not know better.
