Any way to more permanently disable TCS?

It finally happened - someone distracted me just as I was starting my car for my last autox run yesterday, and I forgot to turn off TCS for my run. I went around the first corner and the ABS blipped. Woops. I just jammed the dsc off button and ran the rest of the run in just DSC off, and it was still 0.4 faster than my next best run. Oh well.

In any event, is there any good reliable way to turn off the DSC/TCS more long-term, for things like autocross? I'd think there was hopefully a fuse you could pull somewhere or something. =(

Yeah buy a base car. Using anything other than the factory method of turning it off would not be legal in solo.
