Conceptual engine regulations

All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

Did you mean this whit triggers on the steering wheel

Kinda. I was thinking more like xBox controller triggers. So, a digital-proportional trigger that would just shift the bias from left to right as the driver is cornering. This would be best done in such a way that all differentials are locked with no passive adjustment, so the driver would need to get VERY good at it to be fast and save tyres.
A question, ever driven anything with a locked or substantially locked differential ? (No not Karting, with very low weight etc) there's movement in transmission for very good reason, the higher the traction with tire, then the more important it becomes too.

Even the CV are unlikely to survive, and how about hand modulation of torque while steering and keeping the throttle wide open to facilitate ? Substantially into the realms of significant ergonomic and control dexterity wierdness for drivers to implement.

It really is nothing like x-box.
My concept comes from a project that I have discussed with a good friend who likes to make weird stuff to play with. We began talking about a transmission that he had in his garage that he wanted to build something with. That transmission is the 2ML70 (https://www.transmissiondigest.com/gms- ... mission-2/). I suggested a space-framed single seat electric hillclimber while using the Nissan Juke AWD rear diff (https://carpartsdirectstore.com/product ... vlEALw_wcB).

The plan was to directly mount the diff to the trans, and then mount the trans to the chassis. Now, this power-trans is only 80hp, so not a terribly high number. When we discussed how the control setup would look, it was a simple paddle shift steering wheel with torque vector triggers. We didnt really get far enough to get into the minutiae of how it would operate on the baseline without driver changes to the triggers, but I guessed it would operate normally, and the driver would just add a "bias" variable with the triggers during operation.
