Does anyone _really_ know what the current situation in F1 is regarding anti-lock brakes and traction control? Are they both legal, and if so, does everyone run it? I'm trying to get my F1 2002 configuration synced up with the real world as much as possible. I'm running with both off and suffice to say the barriers know my car number very well. Many thanks!
ABS is now banned in modern F1, but were used in the 90ies, TC was used at the same time, later banned, but last year TC was legalised again. There are also talk about Williams gonna go for active-suspension again btw (which was banned), but they might have found a hole in the rules, or just want to test it if it gets legal again?.

TC was only made legal due to unpoliceable software systems, about time FIA sorted that out and made it illegal again...

Auto Up Shift Traction Control Clutch Help (simulate anti-stall electronics) Turn the following off Steering Help Invulnerability Stability Control ( turn back on if Active Suspension comes back ) That's about as real as it gets. TC and LC are currently both legal - and most teams have auto upshift. What F12002 doesnt simulate is auto-upshift override to shortshift. DOug
