Would traction control and anti-lock brakes have allowed Mark Royce to lock the brakes once the rear was too far gone to recover? If so, he could have avoided the wall. I’ve seen too many race cars regain traction post-spin and shoot off in a new direction. Years-ago I spun a car (avoiding a deer) and deliberately locked ‘em up when the spin was inevitable. As expected, the car continued straight down the road from 60 to 0. Are modern nanny systems sophisticated enough to know when you’ve hit the point of no return?
