There's no perfromance increase from using them, only safety. This is why we don't go to the track and turn the traction control ON, we switch it off. At least this is the case currentlyBut, on the other hand. With a blank piece of paper and unlimited funds, you could make those systems in a racecar make any little Civic Si driving tool look like a hero. The reason they don't use them is because in most racing organizations they are not legal. I recall a few years back, there was a very sophisticated system in an F1 or Indy car, that could remember the fastest line, then duplicate it around the track. It took minimal driver input. Basically, we could all be Mario Andretti if we had his line. Immediately all traction aids were banned, lol.</blockquote>
