The electronic gizmos were designed to save a driver's A$$ when driving on the street. Orginially, they were a safety net, not a Driver's aid.
As the gizmo's developed... Porsche, BMW, and GM with their Corvette, were able to "fine-tune" the electronics, enabling a driver to drive in "competitive mode" (reducing the effect of electronic intervention), which does help the newbe @ the track.
The "flip side" to using these electronic aids is that it allows a newbe to make mistakes and remain on the track, encouaging him to drive faster.
With the power... and handling available when using the gizmos... some drivers far exceed their ability, before the Laws of Physics take the car into the Armco.
Relying on Electronic Gizmo's to correct your mistakes is a crutch, and eventually the crutch will slip... and BOOM... bad things will happen.
