Rusty, Yes. I noticed the TCS light came coming out of turns. It was especially noticeable at turn 11 on Laguna Seca which I feel is the hardest on brakes and shifting to second gear (hard to get that combo right).

What do you guys suggest to improve my next track day with regards to TCS, braking and applying power with this car? I'm on the base 2013 model so no LSD
Yes he's saying you're to aggressive power on at the apex. You're forcing the cars VDC to kick on and that's why your lights flashing and the cars applying the rear brakes to keep you straight. He's saying if you turn the VDC off and drive the same you're gonna spin in the same turns you're cooking your brakes in and killing your pads. Turn it off next time but drive slower unless you know how to drift.
