When you're gooing for a fast time on a track, you've not got oncoming cars to worry about. The last thing you need is ESP/TC/ASR cutting power mid corner.

You mean the driver is in full control of the car and what it can do sort of thing:D

Also, Needell, Plato and The Stig are in a different league to anyone on here

Deffo - I consider myself an average driver, who may overcook it once or twice, mainly when tired - on a track ESP is probably a bad thing, but then you'd expect to be 110% focussed to get that performance you're after on a track
