The point was and I continue to make is how all AI or driver aids improves the quality and skill of driving for everyone. Not just haters but the talented pilots who want to focus on racing and not car dynamics like some pit engineer. A prime example is the F35 aircraft flight stability systems. These allow one to not have to worry about cumbersome maneuver while relaying more vital field information. Analogous to FRS time attack where there can be random puddles of sand and loose tire bit all over the track. You want to have feedback like ignition cut to help one pay more attention to the ever changing racing line as such is most likely to occur racing with leaky unreliable poorly tuned streetcars.

Not sure why I bother...
You seem to totally ignore the difference between a traction control system that is designed to keep kids/soccer moms/texters from killing themselves (and others) and a system that is actually engineered for track driving.
They aren't the same thing, and the twins have the first one, not the second. A real system will allow some pretty big slip angles, to the point of sliding the rear of the car a fair amount (believe it or not, it can be useful to "tighten" the line of a car in a turn either by gentle throttle oversteer or by trailbraking/lift throttle initiated oversteer). The stock system doesn't allow it at all.
Let's also not confuse traction control with stability control. They are different.
As for your other comments, it's good to see you want to use a system that relieves the driver from the pressure of having to actually drive. I hear Google is working on the perfect track car for you!
