As I said earlier, traction control is allowed, as long as the system only operates on the engine (so not on brakes, etc).

The LMP rules don't allow "electronic controllable differentials" (see rule 9.3.1). This is not F1.

Yet BMW fitted the M3 with ABS for the Nurburgring 24 hours.

Why would this be difficult to impose? They can enforce the no ABS rule.

You are jumping to conclusions. The rules are not yet published, only the main ideas are. Obviously energy recovery will be allowed during braking, as long as it does not act as driver aid.

The 2011 rules are a starting point. The 2014/2015 rules will probably allow for a free transmission. So CVT might come in the future.

You completely lost me. The only way to achieve 4WD will be to use a hybrid system Like Porsche does with the hybrid 911.
