Actually it works great on the lambos. It just isn't near as much fun to
drive with. That's the standard track/road tradeoff anyways. Understeer
for lap time versus powerslides for fun. I'm sure they won't be stupid
enough to not allow it to be turned off.

Just watch Top Gear, the British TV program. They spend a lot of time
during their track tests on exactly what this complication gives you and
what it does not.

Yup. Never miss it. Only available on one channel here. BBC Canada. And
it's the *only* show worth watching on that channel too. Well, not
entirely true - I saw an episode of Black Adder last week that seems to
have disappeared from their schedule. The one with King George and the
actors.
