YES
OR NO I have been more and more worried about the direction F1 is heading with electronic controls. DC has already stated (see autorace.com for yesterday) that all a driver has to do going through a corner is flatten the throttle and the TRACS will do the rest. There will be compensation for the drive in the wheels through the diff, grearbox, engine components, and so on. In no time flat, the boffins will find ways to control the steering or at least influence it, and brakes, so that th edriver will have much of his skills replaced by the computer software. Starts will be controlled by some form of launch control working off the lights, and braking points monitored for the driver to slam on the brakes while the gears automatically shift down. What's next? God knows. Last edited by Valve Bounce; 24 Apr 2001 at 06:43. |

Is this a trick question?
Ban it all - Let the men be men again! |

Absolutely yes. Let the manufacturers take their wares and start up their own series, and let F1 become a drivers championship again. Let's see which product (remote control vs. drivers skill) the punters would rather watch.
Have no doubt that it is the manufacturers who want this in F1, the teams (at least most of them) and the drivers (all except maybe one) want rid. Last edited by angst; 24 Apr 2001 at 07:47. |

Yes , it would be much better if there were no electronic devices to help the driver handle the car.
We would get more out of a race. |

I really wanted to ask whether drivers would be recognised for their skills, whether we would see a better F1 series, and whether electronics would cover up for certain drivers' lack of skills by their teams superlative electronics.

ok i asked the mechanics regarding this question.
I was against these aids.. heres their answer :- ITS called aids. these f1 cars r so fast that safety is always an issue. at present FIA doesnt wanna see any deaths.. nor they want some teams to use aids and some left out. so in keeping up with the safety and fair advantage, FIA in the long run has approved EA including TC. i had to agree with this |
