I have a 996 Mk II and I cannot see any TC controls on it on or off. I think that is why so many love the GT3 RS ie it has no nannying aids and a lot of people were amazed it was allowed as a road going car (same for GT3).
I have lost it a couple of times. Once on the straight in front of the pits at Nurburgring GP. I came off the Nordschleife and was trying to get maximum speed and did not know the GP track or that the right hand hairpin was blind until you see it (too late). Slammed the anchors on > overrun > gravel pit. Another time at the top end, the last major left turn before the straight and joining the Nordschleife again. Was going to fast to make the left turn and spun in the run off. In short I think the underlying factor was lack of track knowledge.
I know the GP track quite well now
. Drive it like its your last is my motto. I know plenty of people/colleagues now who are all dead and not as old as me. You are not long for this life.
TC or PASM or not you still see plenty of Porsche with them being written off but each to their own.

FYI a few short clips:
- GT3 RS - 997
- vanilla Porsche, first car being a CSL 'looky likey' (it is where all the spares have gone
)
- not sure what aids this has as it is on the VLN
