For track / racing, people say the comfort (regular) throttle is more suitable because it is linear in input response. DSC OFF is the real track mode.

You may not know this, but back in the days before computer controlled stability and traction, we had RWD cars that still had quite a bit of power.
And guess what?
We still didn't go off the road causing nasty accidents and such.
Seats belts and better tires have done much more for vehicle safety than stability and traction controls.
Those items are there to help people who can't seem to learn how to do it for themselves.
Unless one is a complete meat-head, who has no sense of steering and throttle control, then you can drive in complete safety with no traction or stability controls in play.
Those items are there to help the unaware driver who wants to drive but not consciously.
With full DSC on the driver will not get anywhere near the great limits these cars have. TC especially engages quite early, and often too early especially in winter where people can get stuck in their driveways on light snow on an incline, and don't realize they may need to turn TC OFF so that they can actually get some wheel spin.
Oh NO! Don't turn TC off you'll go off into a ditch!
