In [[Formula One]], an effort to ban traction control led to a change of rules for 2008: every car must have a standard (but custom mappable) ECU, issued by the [[FIA]], which is relatively basic and does not have traction control capabilities. In 2003, [[Paul Tracy]] admitted that [[Championship Auto Racing Teams|CART]] teams used traction control in the nineties, a device that was not formally legal until 2002 (although the switch to single engine supplier for 2003 reverted the legalization).<ref>{{cite web |title=CART Notes: Tracy Admits Traction Control In '94; Struggling Reynards Seek Relief |url=https://www.autoweek.com/news/a2097591/cart-notes-tracy-admits-traction-control-94-struggling-reynards-seek-relief/ |website=Autoweek |access-date=June 10, 2023 |date=May 4, 2003}}</ref> In 2008, NASCAR suspended a [[Whelen Modified Tour]] driver, crew chief, and car owner for one race and disqualified the team after finding questionable wiring in the ignition system, which could have been used to implement traction control.<ref>{{cite news |title=Car No. 1 NWSMT Team penalized for rules violations |url=https://www.motorsport.com/nascar/news/smt-martinsville-penalties-announced/309206/ |access-date=7 November 2018 |date=17 September 2008}}</ref>
