Don't all modern cars have traction control? I thought it was mandatory in
the EU.
I don't think so, only ABS which has been mandatory since about 2002 I
think. However if you fit one, the other is a very small change,
mainly in software, as they both work by individually braking wheels.
Really? Traction control is all about putting the power down to the
wheels with the best grip. Do cars really implement this by applying the
brakes to those wheels which you don't want power transferred to?
Yes, and they cut the power, too. See
