i was thinking "he must mean Kers" when i saw the thread title.. lol
additional 80-ish hp to the wheels. With the cost of added weight for the system.
Some times are gonna go without the system to save weight. Will be interesting.


i think theres gonna be problems for the first couple of years the system is introduced, like systems sticking on and having the boost stuck etc.
They are tryin to make F1 into a death race.. with the new medals system and the boost addition.

Increase spark and probably increases gas.... But yah just a bigger flame for quick burst.... They probably run ridiculous engine management systems that probably can account for that.... BUT SICK!!!

Sounds like Cruisin's USA game where you double pump to get boost ahahahah!! Love it....

YouTube - Ferrari F2009 KERS K.E.R.S. for dummies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-A6ZcenX7s)

i believe its like an electric assist/motor
my guess is its not any faster, but it frees up some of the load off the drivetrain so the engine can push harder for that momment/ estimate like an 80hp increase.

Doesn't one of the teams use a flywheel instead of a battery to store the energy?
