I'm not going to tax my brain to work out how many, but try modern day
braking systems with anti-lock and traction control, advances in gearbox
design, including paddle controls (waste of time), fuel injection systems
that cut off supply whilst coasting to economise, active suspension system
design, turbo charged engines. Need any more for getting on with?

Like what? Really, I'm curious, what now common technologies from
formula one are in constant use in street cars?

Thanks, Corky Scott
