It's in the FAQ, but under VSA. It was an option on the 06+ cars and standard from 08.

No cars prior to 06 have it (unless they have an aftermarket system).

Oh, and it has a button where you can turn it off anyway.

So you can keep it off for fun and turn it on if there's a raid of toads or something.

Does DBW affect installation of the racelogic?

I dont think it should no?

Yes it does

DBW cars that do not have VSA cannot have Racelogic.

Yes it does Racelogic alters fuelling when the ABS sensors detect that some wheels are going at different speeds to others, the ECU in the DBW car detects that as a major engine fault, flashes it's little light and then goes into limp mode.

Shame really, RLTC looked like fun.
