Sport Button

[MissionE]

Does the sport button on non-chrono cars only affect the powerband and not the suspension? Seems you still have to adjust suspension [sport/sportplus] separately via the instrument cluster.

It puts the drive mode in sport and chassis in sport. Sport chassis is a little firmer but doesn't lower automatically like sport plus. If you then tap the chassis button in the cluster once you get sport plus chassis.

I was under the impression drive mode and chassis had to be adjusted separately, not with a single input. Although it seems like they both should be one thing instead of offering them as seperate adjustments [who would want drive mode in sport plus and chassis in normal, for example?]

Chassis setting follows drive mode but can then be adjusted manually. If you're in normal drive with normal chassis, switching to sport drive will also have sport chassis. If you're in normal with manually overridden sport plus chassis, it'll keep sport plus when switching drive to sport.

They're only loosely coupled and you can use any chassis mode in any drive mode without Sport Chrono. I regularly drive in sport mode with normal chassis since it gives me more power and responsiveness but the same high comfort. I drive in sport/sport plus if I'm doing sporty driving on a road I know well.

I like the setup and don't miss sport chrono.

Range on chassis is basically the same as sport plus in height, and range on drive mode is a separate thing. Just seems convoluted. But I see now that it can all be preferenced manually.
Thanks

Chassis controls the firmness, height is completely independent of it. Range mode goes low but soft. It's why you can have sport and normal chassis at any height, and it does make a difference.

Range on suspension rather. Although looks like you can only make manual preferences in individual mode, which doesn’t look to be present on non-chrono cars.

Slight thread hijack, sorry.

I've a CT4S with sports chrono. I pressed the gravel button for the first time today. I think it jacks the chassis up a bit, but not sure if you can choose which engine mode you use with it. I think it just defaults back to normal and twisting the s.c. dial just kills gravel mode. Clearly this will dramatically impact my ability to emulate Colin McRae.
