Why do you think F1 doesn't have ABS ESP (whatver you guys cal it) active yaw control and all the rest?

try it, take some vids of you screwing around in a parking lot but I hope ou aren't too attached to those proxes. Those will take a beating while you adjust driving techniques.

Having owned a car with zero driver aids, I can promise you that it will make you a better driver. No you can't steer in full lock up thats what you have to modulate the pedal to maintain control of the car. Its not that hard. Your grandparents are good at it.

Wouldn't you become a better driver in a more safe manner if you concentrated on driving in such a way that prevented the driver aids from kicking in? IE, threshold braking to ABS engagement? Lets not forget the ABS does what it is supposed to do in stopping the car BETTER. ABS is not PREVENTING braking. It helps it.
