The fact that I assumed you were skilled enough to go to the track and avoid locking up your brakes was indeed a mistake on my part.
You are correct - I'm sure you can get the PSM to turn back on if that is your intent. If you are driving the track as you should however, the PSM shouldn't have to turn itself back on.
The advice for people going to the track is to leave the PSM on. If you find the car intervening - then smooth out your style.
The advice for people who go to the track and turn off their PSM but who find that the car keeps turning it back on is to get another hobby.

Oh, I see; you lose your bet and now want to set
totally fallacious boundaries to alter that fact.
My original statement was: “PSM equipped cars have an Off switch on the dash; however, the system will reactivate automatically under certain circumstances, so "off" is not a true condition.” You will note, and I hope this time understand, I never said anything about stepping on the brakes, nor did I make any statement about forcing the car to activate the ABS system (The braking reference was quote from Porsche literature). The only thing I stated was that “the system will reactivate automatically under certain circumstances”, which was then, and still is
correct.
Again, I quote your original statement in response: “Go to the track - turn it off. Let us know if you can get the PSM to turn itself back on. I'll bet you can't.” But as it turns out,
you can.....
Sorry, but you still lose.
My advice to you would be to read more carefully before starting a senseless argument, and be careful who you offer driving advice to until you know their track history…….
