QUOTE (sgarnett @ Jun 5 2009, 09:18 PM)  Isn't Formula One using regenerative braking now? Yes, KERS: Kenetic Energy Recovery System. Most teams aren't running it, and the ones that have played with it have removed it for at least 1 race this season because it caused issues (like inconsistency during braking). It is unclear if the cars using it are actually faster (Brawn hasn't touched it, and they've been at the top of the speed charts all year). Their system weighs 35 kg and adds 80 hp when fully charged. |
