DVC really turns off??

I have no problem spinning the tires until the cows come home or making the back end overtake the front with VDC off. However, last weekend I was coming into a corner during AutoX really hot with VDC off, and stopping the brakes got the back end loose and VDC straightened the car out. Also, when I did my 180 on track, brake application again immediately rectified the situation which was otherwise not really improving all that quickly (I was sideways until I hit the brakes and then I got the left-right-left-right-while-slowing-VDC-sensation).

I dont know what to think.....but I can tell you I never hit the brakes when this happened to me yesterday. Anyway, tonight I made a u turn and got on it some and caught a nice fish tail and no VDC engaged at all! I was a little less agressive tonight with my girl in the car though, but still got sideways a bit and no net!!
