Traction Control in Formula 1 was banned in 1994. However, creative
"engine management" made it practically unenforceable and the ban was
subsequently rescinded. Finally, in 2008 Traction Control was banned
permanently because the FIM created a universal interface to all engine
management systems and they now can log and view what is going on. -Kirk

(Snip). . . Those who think traction control will slow you down, should
examine the subject in F-1. You won't find anything on a 20 million dollar
F-1 car that doesn't make it go faster and they all have traction control.
