Think only Toyota use the flywheel system, but I thought it transferred it's kinetic energy directly onto the crank via a clutch. The others, use a pure battery and charger system.
Lewis didn't use KERs at Silverstone, and got out qualified by his team mate who did use it.  |
i was under the impression that the cars was lugging more weight when running KERS? so its down to ballast in other cars and them being able to move the ballast to where they wont then? Surely the kers cars could move something else to ballast out then?
O and what the hell has happened to lewis? How can they get the car so wrong when it worked so well last year? I know at silverstone he got mugged of a good time at the qualifing but he admited himself that he could not go any faster with that car. So if no KERS, whats going on?
