Hello Jon.

Just leave it in D for normal driving. When you want to go mad, again leave it in D but switch off the traction control. For extra excitement switch to sports mode and boot it. Carefull though, it can turn round and bite you, especially if the roads are a bit damp. Best stick to private land.
