I recently acquired a '15 F Type R and am looking forward to configuring the Dynamic Settings. Curious what others have found to be a good set up. Dynamic settings, as well as traction control, and whether you typically are in D or S?

Congrats and welcome to the funhouse. I keep most of my dynamic settings in the sport settings for steering suspension and shift points. On ,the highway for long trips I'm in D. For everything else I'm in dynamic. When I want to have fun (most times) I'm in full sport mode and shifting.

I appreciate your response. I've driven a fair number of performance cars over the years, and I've found it is helpful to get input from those that have already been down the road I'm traveling.

My dynamic settings are

Throttle - Normal
Steering - Dynamic
Suspension - Dynamic

I use TracDSC almost exclusively because I'd rather have some wheelspin than power loss.

Launch control is a pair of feet (with shoes). The joy of a manual transmission :-)

Same. But I'm another manual driver! Three is the correct number of pedals.

I run the dynamic settings all on except for the suspension for normal everyday use.
I always drive it in Dynamic mode with the exhaust open, occasionally flitting between Sport auto or flappy paddles.
Only put the suspension in Dynamic or Hard mode if aggressive/track driving is required.

Go for a drive and just play - You will soon find YOUR sweetspot.

+1 on all these settings, except that I went back to dynamic mode on the throttle after the clutch was fixed. It offers faster throttle blipping for double clutched synchronized downshifts.
