John Martens, Delphi's project manager for ARS, says the system uses a yaw plane reference model similar to those of electronic stability control setups but adds a dynamic function that effectively reduces both understeer and oversteer at all speeds.
But there was disappointment for series leader James Courtney as the Australian could manage only the sixth fastest time after some set-up adjustments caused a touch of understeer.
If, for some reason, a tyre pressure monitoring system, plus auto headlamps and wipers don't keep you out of the bushes, then standard ABS, EBD and Emergency Brake Assist should do, while plusher models also get ESP stability control and CSV understeer control.
