Sport/Race mode. (19 R)

[Schurke]

Can anyone give me specific details as to what takes place when Race mode is selected? I have heard a dozen stories that range from "maybe to absurd". Just curious.

Revs stay higher in power band/quicker shifts/suspension tightens/exhaust valves open/incr'd throttle sensitivity. In other words, it's ready to RIP!

It also reduces steering assistance making the wheel feel heavier and more communicative of the road.

Tightens up steering and dampers have been the biggest 2 changes in this mode for me.
Mine is a MT and running AP so not sure about power delivery/map changes.
