You could leave it on all the time. You can probably also leave the lever
in "D" all the time, too, depending upon what you want/need to accomplish
as the operator of the vehicle...
In low traction conditions, with winter tires, and a driver that is unable
(or conditions that make it impossible) to avoid spinning (a) wheel(s), to
the detriment of the car's ability to maintain forward momentum, it would
be a real good idea to have it on to help control wheelspin and thus
increase the liklihood of maintaining sufficient traction to get/keep the
car moving. (Above 19 mph there's very little risk of not having enough
traction to keep the car moving. This is the rationale behind TRACS.)
But with a reasonable amount of traction and good tires, a bit of
wheelspin to achieve maximum acceleration at low speed is something a
master driver would likely not encounter unexpectedly/undesiredly, and
probably would not be detrimental except perhaps to the life of the tires;
OTOH, the unwanted intervention of TRACS could be.
And everywhere in between. Nice of '95s to not only offer their drivers a
choice, but to remember it. (As with the DRLs.)
I only turn my TRACS on only for particularly difficult passages/spots.
Yannis, you can still try for 2 out of 3, in the consolation round.
