Although, I really can't stress enough, once you're even the slightest bit comfortable with the Zed, you need to turn of DSC. Especially on a very technical/tight track, the DSC will do nothing but hurt you. It won't save or help you, instead it will make things more dangerous as it adds to the understeer and can even simulate lifting off the throttle in a high speed turn, which will take you right off the track. My first run of the day, I kept DSC on so I could get used to the tires and it was the worst mistake I could have made. I was all over the place, and even went 4 wheels off the track. So what I learned is to turn DSC OFF and really push the warm up lap hard to warm up the tires.
