Maybe there is something wrong with your system. Or maybe you have tires that are different sizes from the OEM specifications and the difference in front to rear circumferences is causing the PSM to misinterpret something. I just drove 3 days in an HPDE and my PSM didn't affect me at all - my street tires were making some noise but I wasn't close to losing it. Granted, my performance level is pretty low and I am far from the limit. On the other hand, my instructor was having an issue with his 2013 Boxster S as he was running racing tires in larger than stock sizes with a greater than standard circumference difference, and his PSM would kick in on certain corners and totally cut his throttle.

Lots of different versions of PSM so model and year of car is helpful for the best answers. Usually learning to drive within the PSM envelope is a good thing but if your brakes, wheels or tires are far off OEM specs it will cause PSM to get manic and VERY intrusive. Need more specifics on your car and tire sizes to be more helpful.
