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subsequently rescinded.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.
