Traction control allowed in WEC LMP1 class??
I’m wondering what motorsport disciplines allow traction control or abs and which do not allow those assists for the drivers.

It matters weather its a drivers or constructors championship
Lets just say the LMP1 class in WEC
There are quite lot of motorsports (eg. F1) that are allowed to use TC. But it is not working as it is in road cars, as that would just slow them down and kill their lap times. They have TC set up for every circuit differently, their TC just tries to protect them “slightly” from wheel spin and spinning over in low-speed corners - the whole TC is mapped like that so it’s in use only when needed. As far as I know ABS is not used in motorsports, in normal logics ABS would slow them down horribly, not being able to brake as late as they used to and not being able to lock brakes which means you can’t go to braking limits.
Oh now i see what you’re saying it makes a lot of sense thank you so much for explaining it. You were very helpful in answering my question.
