Currently traction control is allowed but only by cutting the engine (rule 1.10.4). ABS or engine braking on the other hand are prohibited (rule 12.4).

this must be the joke of the year... next they will withdraw the driving wheel because that is a driver aid!... go for mind control steering systems instead... only misses this one..

It only talks about recovery of energy in corners (= driver aid during braking). Release of energy in corners (= driver aid during acceleration) is no regulated. So probably it will be allowed.
In fact David Floury of Oreca already made the following comment:

Reading between the lines, one sees what one and the other asked. It also allows four-wheel drive, which means an additional equivalence. Indirectly, I guess it will also allow traction control. The hybrid may become a pretext for electronic functions which will improve the behavior of the car on the track. And these systems are very expensive.
