twitterTracy admits to using traction control in car
Tuesday, April 29, 2003 | 9:44 a.m.
CART Champ Car leader and Las Vegas resident Paul Tracy admits he used traction control from 1994 until this year.
He said the illegal driver aid contributed to "terrible racing" at times in the series.
"People were saying there was no traction control," Tracy said at a fan forum Monday night at State Fair Park in Wisconsin. "We actually had it, but you weren't allowed to say you had it or you'd get your arm cut off by your owner and engine supplier."
Teams and manufacturers have accused their rivals for years of using electronic driver aids without admitting to their use themselves. Traction control was legalized last year because it was virtually impossible to detect. It was eliminated this year.
