Is this possible and does anyone have any information?

I have searched Google but couldn't find much!

Thanks.

Traction control... yes, no problem. People like Racelogic will sell you one. It's dyanmic stability control where things start getting complicated and where, as far as I'm aware, there are no sensible aftermarket systems yet available.

Try asking on the TVR forum - I'm pretty sure a few of those guys have fitted the traction control systems.
Thanks, I just found the Racelogic website too!

I'm not so interested in stability control, although it would be nice, it's just when I let other people drive my shiny new kit car I don't want them wiping out and crashing, or would like to reduce the chances as much as possible!

Will have a look on the TVR section too.

One of our customers who is building a MEV Exocet has come up with a clever idea. A device to cut the power to half the plugs if a front wheel rotates faster than the rear.

I have had a system for years , it involves lots of inputs and quite good reaction times to help limit slide and wheel spin and involves moving one limb LIFT OFFor DON'T USE ALL OF THE ACCEL PEDAL TRAVEL

The solution is simple. Don't let them drive it. Does your insurance even allow it?

The racelogic properly set up is epic. You can set it to allow as much fun as you want without it getting in the way.

Yup, racelogic is very very good, the TC cuts are very smooth and you can just nail the throttle in the wet, mid corner without the slightest problem, if you so wish. Also does launch control and full-throttle shifting (don't lift when you change up) which are good for a giggle. It's quite expensive though.
