Yep. My car is dangerous with the nannies on (PSM on or off). I run with the yaw sensor disabled all the time now. I "attempted" to enabled it at the last event when the track was damp and it was raining lightly. I was on fairly worn NT01s. On one of the last laps, while moving my braking point a little deeper, I encountered a serious ice pedal. I wasn't able to start slowing the car down until near the last brake marker . I started looking down the skidpad road thinking I would need to use it but I was able to get the car slowed and turned just in time (and subsequently got black flagged for not coming in after a 4 off). Nannies are great when the tires, brakes, etc. are to OEM spec. Not go great otherwise.
