Thundersports should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Traction Control

Having thoroughly enjoyed my first taste of the British Hillclimb Championship at Prescott one thing puzzled me; The big single seaters are using traction control. Why is it permitted? Is it safety?

It's a very open formula, hillclimb is very open to technology of all kinds. I imagine policing it would be difficult as well.

If I'm correctly informed, a certain F1 team's TC software was tested on a hillclimb car long before it was used in F1.

Speed events are fantastic as the last bastion of the home engineer. Single seater with an engine that you just happen to have lying around? No problem. What about a jet engine in a Clubmans car? Par for the course.

It all makes TC on the big cars look pretty simple and long may it remain. Love it, such a refreshing change from "spec racing" on circuits.
