And the same "it ruins it" applies to all electronic aids when driving to a certain extent anyway IMHO, ABS or TC or LC etc, all detract from the skill needed.

Doesnt stop it being an interesting problem to solve from an electronics point of view though, either to solve totally or to just add aids that allow you to learn more easily.
I don't think he's overestimating the complexity of drifting, just saying there are soo many variables in performing a single drift that working out a way to control it all would not be possible realistically.

Why would you want to build a computer to make people drift perfect everytime? That would be a monumental waste of time.

You're right, other electronic aids do ruin the raw skill required to drive properly, which is why a certain amount of people choose to remove them, so chances are if you built your computer dickwave5000 nobody would bother fitting it barr some rich kid who wanted to be a pro out in the states y0 off daddies monies rather than skill.

As far as i'm aware the problem of spinning out isn't one to be solved, the whole point of drifting is to try get as close to that point as possible before wrestling it back hero-spec and getting all the chicks...
