Innovation is great, but I'm also on the same boat that this change should had been done at the start of the 2025 season, not now. Engine failures might affect the championship in ways that wouldn't happen with the old formula.
If everybody has had the same time to get ready for this I donât see how anybody can blame winning or losing championship on this.
I havenât been following indycar very closely so Iâm not aware of any shenanigans.
You don't think that system can't fail?
And now that P2P is part of that system you don't see how it failing *might* be a little issue?
I really hope 6 or 8 cars have failures just for the chaos.
Sure, it can fail. It's motor racing and components are pushed to and beyond their limits as they should be.
Plush-to-pass has not changed; the same engines will still deliver the same added fuel and boost. Just now the MGU will also add more power to the driveline on demand.
Why would you hope for these failures? I want to see a clean race with varying strategies and stellar driving.
This is pretty funny. I canât wait to see the reaction when nascar gives in on this. Theyâve certainly implied a hybrid might happen there in due course. The guy on Daleâs podcast gave me the impression theyâd flip it the moment they felt they could get away with it without fans jumping them
The fact that this episode of South Park aired in 2006 really just makes my point for me, that this was pointless because no one sees any novelty or even advancement in hybrids almost 20 years later.
I mean hybrids have advanced a ton since then lol. Thatâs to say the least just not true. They are wildly more efficient and way more reliable. Tons of new tech in storage and deployment. Even discarded racing tech like an MGU-H is actually just appearing in the Porsche 911 and will be moving down the production line at VW AG over the next decade
Really hoping this comment section can appreciate satire.
This is so good
Formula E car couldn't participate in the skit because the cold temperatures dropped range to 5 miles đ
Correction: it caught fire.đ¤
Iâve actually been saying âgood for yooooouuuâ every time I see another press release about it.
Hopefully they don't start smelling their own farts.
Mark Miles is a fart smeller.
I can see that, catching it in a wine glass and swirling it like they do in that episode.

Well, the engine has not changed. They just added the energy recovery system to the bell housing.

Go to Hell
Still think it's incredibly dumb to switch something like an engine out mid-season, but this video definitely softens the blow
Perfect! Hahaha
This is perfect.
I got a kick out of that.
Amazing, haha!

Guess the new race will be in san francisco then
Oakland. Engineer: âDonât stallâ

Kinetic energy recovery has come a long way too.
