Just thought I'd start this little thread which we can keep bubbling under to keep track of who is and who isn't going to run the system in 2011.

Wirth has also confirmed that the outfit will not be running KERS.
"We are not going to have KERS and I know lots of people are panicking about KERS and the fact that they think their car will be overweight to start with," he said.
Renault will run it next year I think, so that means RBR and Lotus will also most likely.
Ferrari had a proven system, so them and maybe STR and BMW Sauber???
Mercedes and McLaren. I do not no who built the system used by McLaren in 2009 - if Mercedes, then will they make it available to McLaren and vice versa? WHat about Force India?
Williams had the flywheel system, will they use that and give it also to HRT?
Virgin no.
in the usa, "ker" or cur referes to a dog mutt that is usually mean and worthless.....and that is what i think of that.
I am not sure what to think about seeing KERS again, but I am worried that we will see it falter again and within a year or two it will once again disappear
What do others feel?
IIRC Lotus (the Fernandes team) has indicated that they won't use KERS in 2011 despite partnership with Renault.
Good, it would be time to give it a real chance.
I'm so sick of KERS.
It failed, so there isn't any necessity to bring it back.
Stating that it makes F1 more "green" is laughable.
I quite like KERS as a concept. What I can't stand is the whole KERS cars vs non-KERS cars thing.
I never did. This type of technology would be better suited for LeMans and not F1. We don't need another CART-style gimmick in F1.Quote:

We can witness again a difference of racing design philosophy and instead of being happy we kick it out of the way.
