[QUOTE=hcl123;2731568]bad rules...really... "fait divers" to justify doing nothing... traction control already happens to an extent with electronic controllable differentials... ABS actually many pilots don't like them because they tend to lengthen brake distances, tires have so much grip that is preferable to leave a mark in the tarmac... the engine always brake, unless you clutch them ofline anytime the foot gets off the accelerator.
Sorry no insults as you requested, but are you talking about Sportscar in current era?
ABS was banned after 1998 when Porsche had it....and won Le Mans, Toyota and others were also working on their systems as it was faster, had more tyre management control and had less chance of driver mistakes when it was banned. If it was allowed LMP1's would have ABS, as would F1 or any other category of racing.
Electronically Controlled Differentials are illegal but traction control is, and has been allowed widely used since 2006. Also previously banned for 1999.
4WD could be a good innovation???? It has been in motorsport for over 30 years!! Where is innovation in that?
