You could compare this to a "stall sensor" on an aircraft I suppose.. "PULL UP, PULL UP, PULL UP" or in the case of a drifter "YOU ARE ABOUT TO SPIN"..

Even so, put an experienced drifter in ANY car, and he will feel where the "edge of control" is quite easily.

The number of variables is relatively small in my pesonal opinion, but then im used to writing control software that deals with up to half a million variables simultaneously, so I guess it depends on what you personally class as being a lot.
There are certainly a lot more than the ones I mentioned in this thread though, but im just after the basics initially to look for patterns, not to actually start building anything yet.
