ok, Maxi Test started with a potted history of the name ZO6.
They did a tour of the car and didn't rate the interior, usual comments,
"not up to European standards".

Out on to the circuit, they were disappointed that the electronic aids
could not be totally turned off making it difficult to predict.
Brakes also came in for criticism as not being up to the job.

Over all they liked the car but it "left them hungry" "let down by
poorly set up electronic aids" "A real shame, it had such potential"

Some great footage and when I get back from tour in August I'll
put the footage up for all to see.

I'm sure that the TC can be fully turned off. There is a "hooligan" mode, ("competition mode" or something) that allows quite a lot of sideways shenanigans and an "all electronic safety nets off" mode.

Can any owners confirm?

The C5 Z06 certainly had everything on, TC off and Competiion mode which required the TC button to be pressed for 5 seconds and which I think turned everything off.

...so yes, you can turn it off, the same as with the C5.
