Oliver is using the "Loubet hybrid" spec (on tarmac). Another interesting question is where are the huge cracks in the windscreen from.
branch of trees usually.Quote:

For sure, you can even see another big one coming on the landing in the middle of the screenQuote:

Do the new cars run to the same minimum weight as the current cars? Or have they increased it to allow for the hybrid?

I think I remember reading getting rid of the fresh air ALS is in the rules for the new cars.Quote:

And that is perfectly logical. Having an ALS in a hybrid car would be ridiculous.Quote:

Yes, the function of ALS is to keep the turbo rotating at maximum speed when the throttle valve is closed. The larger the turbo, the higher inertia it has and the more it suffers from lagging. It means it takes more time to accelerate it to full speed and to deliver the maximum boost. The electric engine can add the torque which is missing without ALS during the initial acceleration. It removes the bang but it also removes the main source of fuel inefficiency, i.e. it is somewhat green while the car performance doesn't suffer.Quote:
