Rally1 hybrid cars (2022-)

[Tom K]

You are right 30kj is for triggering, but it could be more if it's a hard braking zone...

For instance, for this stage 2, if the car start with 80% and finish with 30% so around 7000kj is available (11232 kj to 4212 kj)
So 70 boosts (100kj) are available.

To be able to do a boost you need a brake, if each time the driver brakes at 30kj (it's only a theory, not real...), extra generated energy : 2100kj so 21 extra boosts.

So for SS2, 91 boosts could be available. More with long braking, less without braking...

Thanks. I know it could be more, but point for me was if the driver would need to brake harder than 30 kJ. Seems that he doesn't need to bother about it. If even with minimum regen from braking, number of boosts should be around 70-90, there is small risk that "hard-braking" driver will get some advantage...

When it comes to regen on road section. Maybe the ratio is higher because of map of regen?

Rules say:
Mapping for the road section is free.
• Mapping in full EV mode and road section mode charging are
not included in the frozen maps limitation.
• Road section mode cannot be used on a stage. If the car goes
out of stage mode during a stage, the hybrid system must be
disabled.

For sure regen on road sections will allow recharging battery to the SOC of 80%
