ect power on won't make any difference what so ever in your times.
(people will try to tell you it does, but they are stupid) Your trap speed, and 1/4 times have nothing to do with your ect power button.

brake torque is up to you. try without, if you dont' spin, then start at 1000k brake torque, if you don't spin there, take it up to 1500, etc....

your paddle shifters on your car are there for looks. don't use them if your goal is to achieve the fastest time possible in your car. Leave it in auto.

You have the rest of the advice above.

Re: brake torquing, Is the goal to spin a bit, or not at all? I thought the least spinning means the quicker times?

Also, will VSC/off/on have any impact on times?

I searched on google and from what i found all the tracks seem to be about an hour away. Dont quote me though, i have it on my house computer which is in storage right now and i dont feel like searching again on google.

I just got into med school at case - so that is why i am moving to cleveland in august.
