Can you point me to the website where you found that info?

This is the info on which I based the absence of TC:

The FIA World Motor Sport Council approves 2010 World Championship for GT1 cars
25.10.2007: The FIA World Motor Sport Council approves 2010 World Championship for GT1 cars

The FIA World Motor Sport Council of 24th October 2007 has approved the following proposal from the GT Commission :



In 2010, the FIA GT Championship will evolve into two new separate championships:

- A World Championship for GT1 cars

- A European Championship for GT2 cars



These Championships will follow new GT1 and GT2 Technical Regulations, to be published following the next FIA World Motor Sport Council, in December 2007. They will come into force within the FIA GT Championship from the 2009 season, which will be a transition year, where cars built according to the new regulations will be entered alongside the current cars.

The new 2010 FIA GT Technical Regulations, established in cooperation with the Automobile Club de l’Ouest for application in both the FIA GT Championship and the Le Mans 24 Hours, will be reserved for GT cars produced in excess of 300 units per calendar year, leaving the FIA the right to refuse homologation to cars that could be considered too extreme.

From December 2007 onwards, the FIA will publish a list of eligible cars each year.

Manufacturers and private engineering tuners will be able to develop, build and enter cars in the FIA Championship, with a minimum number of cars defined for each category.

Compared to the current technical regulations, the 2010 regulations will define heavier but more powerful cars, using production engines made reliable for competition, the power of which will be controlled by various means including, but not limited to, a standard ECU as well as torque and fuel control rate sensors. The common ECU will also allow the prohibition of the use of traction control systems.

Manufacturers wishing to enter models produced in excess of 5000 units per calendar year will have the opportunity to request waivers from the FIA, including the possibility of replacing the car’s engine with another large scale production engine fitted in other models from the same brand.

The rest of the Technical Regulations will be based on the current GT2 regulations, with some additional aero modifications permitted for GT1 cars.

The GT1 category will be reserved for models with engines above 5.5L. The manufacturers or tuners will be able to choose between homologation at 650bhp/1300kg or 600bhp/1250kg.

The GT2 category will be reserved for cars with engines under 5.0L. The manufacturers or tuners will be able to choose between homologation at 500bhp/1250kg or 450bhp/1200kg.

For cars with engines between 5.0L and 5.5L, the manufacturers or tuners will be able to choose homologation in either GT1 or GT2.

In order to make each category unique, one and the same model cannot be homologated in both GT1 and GT2.

The FIA GT3 European Championship will be maintained in its current format and the GT3 category will remain unchanged.

Ah, right.
Sorry, my mistake. I forgot to delete that . There is no TC or ABS on the 2010 GT1.
I did mention in the General Info forum that you should practise without TC and ABS.

 

Yes, same thing. FIA GT1 2010 cars also did not have ABS.
So we're running the series as close to the real 2010 series as possible:
No TC
No ABS
Same tracks
Rolling start
Same race length 60 minutes
Same pit window between 35 - 25 minutes
Same point scoring system

 

I am driving as well.
Protest can be made 24 hours after the event.
Everyone who signed up for this series had to declare that he has read the rules and regulations. If anyone is in violation of the rules (punting etc.), protests can be submitted.
Rules and Regulations

 

That overheating (and oversteer) has to do with the tire pressures. You have to balance the pressures (temps) out.

 

Tip from Toni Talvitie:
If you find the car "snappy" in fast corners, adjust the tire pressure: default pressure front and min. pressure back.

 

I have my HUD tire temps display up while I'm driving so I can instantly see if I'm sliding a lot or pushing too hard.
You can see the tires getting too hot. So now I know that, I'm practising on driving clean and tight lines.
