Auto Credit Based on Potatoonprop's F1 car

Made some changes:
- engine now bound to ag8.
- reduced weight & adjusted mass balance.
- added DRS.
- added KERS.
- fuel now has mass; fuel increased to 110kg; limited max fuel flow to <100kg/h.
-- the implementation of KERS is through exceeding fuel flow of 100kg/h.
-- 1hr8min at max throttle; capable run distance of >300km. - adjusted/enhanced performance characteristics.
- improved front tyre steering ratio control & increased max traverse.
- adjusted steering wheel display and lights.
- adjusted colours.
- deleted the label on the steering wheel containing useless code.
ag1: rain lights.
ag2: auto DRS deployment.
ag3: auto KERS deployment.
ag4: n/a
ag5: n/a
ag6: n/a
ag7: engine mediated anti-slip.
ag8: engine on/off.
Pitch/roll normal (car control).
Yaw: n/a
VTOL: n/a
Trim: n/a
FireGuns: manual DRS deployment.
LaunchCountermeasures: manual KERS deployment (KERS charge by deceleration).
Additional notes:
- AI won't use full throttle for some reason; you can fix by amplifying throttle control: so instead of "Pitch", use "clamp(Pitch*10, -1, 1)".
- for some reason acceleration is traction limited at speeds below 200km/h - that's why I had to crank up the rear tyres' forward traction to 300%.
