Firstly the cars aren't too complicated. They have no traction control, for example, which means you can spin if you try too hard and damage your tires if you're not careful with your driving style.

WHAT DOES TRACTION CONTROL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Traction control system

A traction control system, in German known as Antriebsschlupfregelung, is typically a secondary function of the anti-lock braking system on production motor vehicles, designed to prevent loss of traction of driven road wheels. When invoked it therefore enhances driver control as throttle input applied is mis-matched to road surface conditions being unable to manage applied torque. Intervention consists of one or more of the following: ▪ Reduces or suppress spark sequence to one or more cylinders ▪ Reduce fuel supply to one or more cylinders ▪ Brake force applied at one or more wheels ▪ Close the throttle, if the vehicle is fitted with drive by wire throttle ▪ In turbo-charged vehicles, a boost control solenoid can be actuated to reduce boost and therefore engine power. Typically, traction control systems share the electro-hydraulic brake actuator, and wheel speed sensors with ABS.

Definition of traction control in the English dictionary
