Re: abs. In tarmac rallying I think it would be better to have it. As every stage and every corner is different its very hard to judge that exact limit of grip available; you want that extra bit of security to a. not send you sliding off the road because you've over cooked it and are now understeering/four wheel sliding and b. destroying (flat spotting) one of your limited number of allowed tyres.

There is a reason that TMR retro fitted ABS to the EVO 9 RS's that they ran in years go by.

Give me the weight penalty for having the abs module and pumps onboard!

Circuit, different story; get rid of abs!!
