I'll bet the "rumor" probably started with some journalist writing that their lap times are faster in the comfort mode than sports mode. I've seen how typical automotive journalists drive. It's not pretty.
Hard for me to fathom that if your inputs are smooth, that the quicker responding, stiffer sports mode would actually impede your track time.

Actually the driver was Mike Skeen IIRC. Not a rumor. Info was from a first hand account. I guess I should have said "heard" not saw. I agree though. Journalists can definitely be full of it.
