Traction control is off if you are having the ESP Malfunction error. Which is why you are able to spin third easily still. Does it stay on even after you turn the car off and back on?

I used to get that a few times at the track and since it's just a soft error code it always reset itself with a key cycle. It never stopped me from finishing the pass, came up during normal driving, or made the car behave inappropriately.
