I would leave it off, but there's nothing wrong with giving it a try with it on. It sort of depends on your driving style, but a great driver will get more out of the car with it off for sure.

Well, traction control is for people who don't know how to drive a car at its limits right? Maybe if you are sliding all over the course, TC would be a benefit. It could even be a training tool, if you pay attention to when it starts cutting in, and take that as a clue you are on the edge of traction. Learn to work with the traction you have.
Then learn to work the car when you lose traction.
