Couldn't get the 5AT to launch, so I took off the VDC/ABS fuse

Yup, it was starting to annoy me. Everytime I go tracking, the ABS kicks in way more than I need but not only that, it'll also cut fuel at this section where I need to do a 360 around a cone and on top of all, won't allow me to launch or even do a burn out. Of course, switching off VDC only meant it would allow me a little more oversteer but being the crazy Dubian I am, I needed to sort this. So I fiddled around with my engine bay looking for that fuse box and found it. It's located right next to the battery. Took off the clips on the side and off goes the cover. Located the fuse which connected VDC/ABC and some other system that had to do with electronic stability and had it removed!

I switched on the car and holy crap, my dash lit up like Vegas on a Saturday night haha Slip, VDC off and ABS all went on. I started getting excited here! Left foot slightly on the brake, right foot feathering on the gas and BAM!

My nav screen went blank and a message popped up that said: "You Sir, FAIL!"
