USA spec Golf R's do not have the ability to fully disable ESP and ESC. By pushing the ESP Off button you can turn off the traction control portion of it, but holding the button for 5 seconds does not turn off the ESC as it does on Golf R's in other markets. APR has a long coding helper on thier website now which can be used to generate a coding string that will re-enable this feature on the USA spec cars that are being run on race tracks and need the system fully turned off.
