The 1st thing I do after I start the car is turn VDC off. Like others have said, it cuts power way too soon. VDC off is definitely going to be faster if you can manage the throttle correctly, weather it be in a straight line or on a road course.

So what actually triggers the VDC into action when you're accelerating? Does it activate when it senses rear wheel slip, or can it activate before the wheels lose traction?

Having asked the question, I'm sort of assuming it's activated by the rear wheels slipping - does anyone actually know?

It's activated when it detects slippage.
