I mean... this is not a racecar, and this is not racing. The important thing here is the car and if it's the fastest or not around the Ring. If it's faster using the TCS, better for them, I don't see a problem on that.
Exactly.. this is not a race. This record is all about which car is the fastest, not about who's the best driver. I even think it's an advantage if a car is faster with TC, because that proves that the system does its job, which can be another selling point for the car.

BTW jakaracman, tell me which record you do count as being "legal" in your book.. Because as far as I know, virtually all recent Ring records were done with either TC, ABS or even both switched on. So that "true record" list of yours won't be very long I'm afraid..
