Think I should wade in here.
Esp and the other safety devices are not idiot savers. Accidents can happen to anyone however skilled, suddenly and before the brain is even able to inject the necessary chemical into your blood stream to enable you to react.
Computerised safety equipment can react hundreds of times faster than the human body can.
ALSO I have been unfortunate enough in my life to witness a fatal accident, and I have seen first hand what happens to the human body when it comes into contact with a ton of fast moving metal.
There is no amount of fun to be had which can match the horror of a fatal car accident.
It is cavalier and frankly revealingly obtuse to loutishly disregard the purpose of electronic safety features, which, yes can 'interfere' with the driver experience but are more and more responsible for people being able to walk away from what would have been major crashes without them.
As Simon Bell has said, if you want to have fun responsibly, as in the Caterham 7, which has no driver aids then that is an adult choice made by intelligent people who know their limits and the limits of the machine, but don't laugh in the face of people who use/need/require safety aids or just like to have them there for peace of mind that sort of attitude is extremely disappointing and irresponsible.
Oh and hill launcher is excellent, even though most people know how to use a handbrake, hill launch is a luxury that once you experience, you miss if it's absent.
