I thought it was going to be significantly more given the weight increases in F1. I guess the super capacitor is significantly lighter than a traditional battery.
@@flyingphoenix113exactly. It's much lighter than your traditional lithium ion battery pack, and discharges power as fast as it recharges which is also rapid. Only problem is it doesn't store as much as it's battery equivalent.
Batteries energy density sucks compared to dinosaur power. So stupid. Add 100 lbs for momenntary torque boost. I love the magnesium, just like the old bugs blocks. Makes for a great looking fire. Throw in a battery. You get the heat of a thousand suns. Looking forward to the fireworks
Mr. Pruett if you could place the idea in the head of IndyCar board of directors or Mr. Penske to add more races on the calendar and somehow boost the interest of the best open wheel racing in the world that is IndyCar!
❤🇺🇸🏁Hi Marshal Pruet? I'm happy to hear from you again in 2024, working with Indycar. Type of race thst we love. Thanks for share with fans this clear and lovely video about cars and drivers. Thanks a lot. ❤🏁🇺🇸
When I see Indycar featuring "new" technology, all I can see are the cheques Mr Penske probably had to write to get his former colleagues to implement the tiniest of changes.
Money talks, and BS walks... Paying to get things done isn't a new concept, and you certainly aren't telling secrets out of school, by revealing it here...
Marshall. Will power mentioned in his post qualifying interview that team Penske is using a new pushrod and some teams aren’t can you speak on this in a video some time?
This super capacitor was done seems like 10 years ago by Porsche at Le Mans… Does anyone but Honda even care? I know I don’t. Super pumped for more ovals though. I’m glad INDYCAR is back racing but it’s hard to overlook the drastic need for a new direction.
Welcome the 2024 (and beyond) Indycar season, the Formula 1 Light series. by the way, by going from aluminum to magnesium they made the car 30 pounds lighter and the team's wallets lighter too. smdh
Not a huge fan of using a flammable metal on a race car. Sure the risk, is low, given that it would take a significant fire like Grosjean famous crash, but having a material that blows a shower of sparks back at you when you hit it with a water stream is less than ideal! (yes, I have seen it myself with magnesium in a road car transmission - it was impressive!)
Indy Car is so much better than F1. Much more competitive with new winner in practically every race unlike F1 where one driver wins every race. Netflix needs to do series on IndyCar.
Enjoy not having hybridisation while it lasts Indycar. I recall Martin Brundle’s comment during the Bahrain GP last weekend in which he declared that the introduction of the turbo hybrids into F1 was one of the worst decisions in the sport’s history. Again, Indycar should stop following F1. Do you’re own thing. Have proper open wheel, open cockpit, normally aspirated engines, and you’ll get the audience disillusioned with F1.
Come on Pruett. How can you continue to defend this shit-show-of-a-racing-series? IndyCar is the most stagnant and insignificant open-wheel racing series on the planet now. And I say this as a fan.
@@jscott9360, it just mismanagement. It should've been there start season, with proper preparation. Now, teams are going to struggle big time, it just doesn't look professional.
Perhaps you'd be gracious enough to post the expected price increase, from last season to now? Additionally... How much is "alot of money", according to you? Are any teams at risk of folding, because they are unable to afford the new costs? If you think it is "stupid and wasteful", do you have any alternatives that will be "smarter and more efficient"?
So come June I can quit watching Indycar (I hate hybrids) and just spend more time riding motorcycles and mowing my lawn! Thanks, Indycar! I will do my part to offset your reduction in greenhouse gasses.
Who, or what is supposed to be placated by the idea of a hybrid race car? The Greens? Really, WTF? Sustainable fuels, OK, sorta. But a tiny displacement turbo V6 with hybrid? Snore. It ruined F1, now it’s our turn in the barrel. Who thinks this bs up, the lawyers?
Sorry guys, but I have no idea who the drivers are or where they came from. And I haven't cared about the Indy 500 since Fittipaldi and the milk snub. Yeah, he was a good shoe but... As far as magnesium, as stated by others, have you ever put out one of those fires? I have, not fun. Maybe the answer to a question nobody asked. (Accept the ones selling the parts)
Hybrid powertrains . . . the INVISIBLE, EXPENSIVE change that absolutely nobody but Honda cares about. If IndyCar were going to spend money and risk the quality of the racing, I wish they had done something the casual fan can see . . . NEW BODYWORK! Politics makes people do incredibly STUPID things, these days . . . and IndyCar is clearly not immune. Will IndyCar EVER bring the cars forward in a meaningful way from 2012?
Hybrid, 5 years too late to the game Indycar. Now, as other series are looking ahead, away from hybrid and into sustainable fuels, possibly back to larger displacement power units.
It’s so nice to have new reports from Marshall. Best in the business.
New tail lights look super cool!
Thanks for the update MP! So looking forward to the season getting started.
Pretty cool changes. Looking forward to see how the hybrid setup performs.
Awesome video. Thank you, Marshall!!
So excited for the new season!
Can’t wait to see how fast they go at Road America!
Vamos Canapino 😎🇦🇷, vamos Canapino 😎🇦🇷
What are the changes in costs going to mag parts.
I was hoping they would stay away from the hybrid stuff. Let us at least have one major series with pure ic engines .
Great piece Marshall!
I still mish the LED number displays they used to have!
100 pound addition of the hybrid tech is insane.

If they had a battery pack that number would make you fall out of your chair lmao
They really should get a new chassis now.
You gonna pay for it?
Great video MArshall

Che spettacolo!!🍾🥂
Let’s go #2!!!!!!
Looking trim MP
Marshall is back with Indy car. All is well
Algorithm... Thank you MP!

We are back!

Good video. Thanks.
IndyCar is the best! Gone to the Indy 500 12x in a row, best American sport period
Nice changes. Not nearly enough, but a good start.
The chassis is the real killer it’s fucking ancient

So magnesium huh. Lets just make the car even more flamable.
Is magnesium lighter than carbon fiber?
No. But it is more affordable.
Up the horsepower, not the weight
Amen Brother!!!
I hope it's all fiber optic . Otherwise i see a lot of electrical issue
Pretty sure your last name is PRU - ETT, right?!
Welcome the 2024 (and beyond) Indycar season, the Formula 1 Light series. by the way, by going from aluminum to magnesium they made the car 30 pounds lighter and the team's wallets lighter too. smdh
7+ pounds of the top, 25 of the low back, nice.

4:34 magnesium fires are very difficult to extinguish!

Now get rid of the 90 year old Penske and things might get even better.
You mean Penske DEI team.... snickers

That's disappointing. And btw is indycar just going to run the dw12 for the rest of it's existence?
Come on Pruett. How can you continue to defend this shit-show-of-a-racing-series? IndyCar is the most stagnant and insignificant open-wheel racing series on the planet now. And I say this as a fan.
To me it's a real sh*tshow, introducing hybrid mid season.
Why? It's the same for all the teams.
"hybrid" is a shitshow no matter when it's introduced.
@@jscott9360, it just mismanagement. It should've been there start season, with proper preparation. Now, teams are going to struggle big time, it just doesn't look professional.
@@1106Winter I disagree. I'd rather they get it right than get it early.
Team struggles are part of racing.
It adds dimension and rewards competency
@@oscaracme it hasn't done anything to detract from the product in F1 and prototype racing.
New year, same POS
I hope the hybrid system doesn’t make the cars sound like crap, I.e. F1.
It's purely braking-based regen, with no MGU-H, so it won't affect the sound at all.
its stupid and wasteful to make weight rule changes that cost teams alot of money
Perhaps you'd be gracious enough to post the expected price increase, from last season to now?
Additionally...
How much is "alot of money", according to you?
Are any teams at risk of folding, because they are unable to afford the new costs?
If you think it is "stupid and wasteful", do you have any alternatives that will be "smarter and more efficient"?
@@codymoe4986 no change at all would be "smarter and more efficient".
@@oscaracme shoulda just raced 33 Marmon wasps starting in 1912. Who would want innovation in motorsports anyway
Is anyone else worried that a series that couldn’t make led panels work reliably thinks they can make hybrid tech work. Just saying
WTF HYBRID??? Unnecessary technical complexity incorporating virtue signaling directly into the rule book is BS. I’m done.
So come June I can quit watching Indycar (I hate hybrids) and just spend more time riding motorcycles and mowing my lawn! Thanks, Indycar! I will do my part to offset your reduction in greenhouse gasses.
The cars will sound the same; you wont notice a difference.
@@EViiiiN1
Yeah but I will know! I miss the turbo V8s. 2.65 liter I think?
Who, or what is supposed to be placated by the idea of a hybrid race car? The Greens?
Really, WTF?
Sustainable fuels, OK, sorta.
But a tiny displacement turbo V6 with hybrid?
Snore. It ruined F1, now it’s our turn in the barrel.
Who thinks this bs up, the lawyers?
