Why is my car stalling in normal gear shift if I floor it ?

Why is my car fine when in sports mode?

It may be gearbox software related, battery, I had a similar issue when in Sth Aust, took it to a dealer in Port Linclon and he upgraded the gearbox software and all was good.

I'd have the re-map removed to count that out first.

I downshifted just prior to overtaking then because it changed-up while the boot was still firmly planted I forgot that it was still in manual mode and wondered for second or 2 why the engine was revving so much when now on light throttle.

Everything has been going well but haven't been on a freeway, I am hoping it was just dirty/ rich fuel

Are you coming to the D3/4/RRS weekend, would be a shame if you weren't, although you may not want to risk it I imagine.
