my understanding of ESP was that it is simply a safety feature that applies brakes to individual wheels to prevent uncontrollable skids, notably in violent lane change manoeuvres or in slippery conditions. this i thought was different to traction control which would stop wheelspins under hard acceleration and is not a feature of the standard GTI.... or so I thought...  :undecided: am I right?

I think you are pretty much right there.

The ESP button was developed for the enthusiastic kind to have the option to turn it off for track days etc  :cool:

Mine is on normally and off in the snow, exactly the way it was intended to work.
