IIRC, traction control went out last year (technically it's gone - but who knows how they are cheating their way around it ; -).

+1 lol. i don't get all these people who bashes on such innovative technology. plus it's not like you can't turn it off - that's the beauty of it.
most cars have traction controls now but i dont see people complaining having it. as long as you can turn it off when you need to, it's much better to have it than not - why? cuz computers can ALWAYS act faster than you and all conditions. we are not all Michale Schumacher even though we may dream to be.

i'm sure many can heel-toe, i'm sure many THINK they can do it VERY well, and im sure even more think they are near professionals. but you know what, 99.99% are not. computers can rev match it perfectly near 100% of the time, i doubt anyone besides a pro driver can do that. so tell me how is that not a good technology to have, again, especialy when you can turn it off if you don't want it.

I havent tried it so I dont know but I think this sounds like a great idea.
Anything that makes me a better driver and/or faster on a track sounds awesome IMO...
