Sport mode or not... on road course. with ALta AP.

I had the Alta AP for about 45 days now. and it is awesome.

I had Alta custom a tune for me. so basically, none sport is APtune w/ linear throttle. And in sport mode is still AP tune with factory sport throttle.
I have found "for myself" that the sport mode is too touchy. like have a sprint booster.

my question, when tracking the car on road course. is it better to have linear than having it too touchy. especially on a turbo car. Now on my R53 track car. the Supercharge just feels so linear. maybe I am use to it.

What is your opinion/thoughs? not talking about street driving, but on the track.

I prefer the more linear throttle for tracks, it's easier to predict and control. I did try the car with the sport mode without the tune on the track, it was hard to drive as the throttle and boost was harder to control
