Yes, of course. Formula 1 is all about hightech and too many things have
already been banned. People who want to see powerslides, manual shifting
etc. should better watch V8 Supercars, NASCAR and similar series.

They are also supposed to be the best drivers in the world... It's set
to get banned anyway I think in 2008. F1 is lossing both circuit
attendance and tv viewing figures.

Being hi-tech is all well and good, but when the racing is crap it doest
mean much. Admitadly(sp) its mainly down to the cars dependancy on areo
dynamics that is causing the crap races but I would say most fans want to
the driver drive the car, not driver aided by the car driving the car.

WRC cars have three active diffs (but some teams don't have an active
centre diff), which do help to distribute power to wheels
electronically, but they certainly ain't 'no slip differentials'.

Ah, ok, thanks for explaining. I confounded those.
