I was reading the latest Motorsport magazine (Feb issue) and came across a very interesting advert near the back.
On the sale was the 1994 Benetton B194 Chassis No. 8, the very car that MS used to claim the title in his dodgems move that year. While I thought the current owner was a bit nuts getting rid of such a historic vehicle (MS's first championship car, etc), it was the specs that caught my attention: "as in the day with paddle shift, shift w/o lift, and traction control"
Traction Control?!?!?!?! Really?
Typing mistake?
Uninformed current owner?
"After sale" add-on?
or... was all that nonsense about the presence of launch / traction control really true after all?
Interesting indeed... ;)
