    This will boost the cars to over 800 HP and do away with the stalling. I don't understand the complaints. Faster racing with less interruptions. Looking forward to see how this debuts at Mid-Ohio.

      We hope it gets there. However, at the moment the 30 N-m additional torque limit imposed by the series means it can add no more than 51 hp at 12000 rpm, and the energy store limit of 105 kJ means it can provide that level of power for no more than 2.8 seconds.

      It’s not saving any fuel like you see in WEC hybrids. The amount of HP isn’t going to be like was originally talked about. Then they won’t be getting a new Eng in a few years like was suppose to happen because it won’t fit in the current chassis. On ovals that’s been very vague on what HP will be given, additionally. They don’t use the p2p on ovals now. I think it was an expensive venture with more hype then results 🤷 It won’t have the HP like
      We saw in the CART era

      I love Honda more than them all, but the threat to leave (if true) really pisses me. Stick with the 90% renewable fuel or whatever the % is. I don't want electric invading ever, but we shall see. I'm willing to bet it's cost ineffective compared to the status quo & be cost prohibitive..
      IndyCar has risen from the grave to the most popular it's been in 15-20 years. IndyCar has been steadily grabbing more fans all over the world. A huge contract with FOX for next year & beyond & has been highly popular on Peacock. Then they throw this monkey wrench in!
      It's not going to 'help the environment'. Can't we stick to straight gasoline?

    Toyota used supercapacitors in their 2012-13 TS030 and 2014-15 TS040 WEC hybrids. They ditched this inferior storage method for lithium-ion batteries in the TS050. That's not very innovative, Indycar.

      Toyota didn't just ditch the supercapacitors because they didn't like them. The fuel usage regulations at the time were heavily favouring battery storage and Audi moved to it as well, having a flywheel system that was also better at charging and deploying more quickly but couldn't hold the energy for long. The hybrid in IndyCar is purely additive, they are not trying to make more mileage but go faster, that's why it's suitable for the application.

    • @jaguatiricaimediata5305
      @jaguatiricaimediata5305 3 місяці тому +8

      That's not what happened at all, supercapacitors are amazing for racing, adds relatively little weight while allowing to enjoy the benefit of electric regen and boost. But it just doesn't hold enough juice for a full wec race, but in Indy it's perfect.

That's why F1 uses Li-ion batteries, and why the IndyCar ERS appears to be limited to 150 kJ storage versus 4,000 kJ in the current F1 power units.
