so the cost for the hybrids for a full season is 200k dolars according to Marshall Pruett.
the hybrid is 'spec' (no road relevance, no tech transfer, so its not actually important to the manufacturers when it comes to the actual tech). it adds a lot of weight on the car but it givers then some 80hp at some moments (something like that), tho these 80hp in a few moments are not enought to make up for the extra weight, so the cars are heavier and slower.... aaahhhhmmm... 200k for these indycar teams seems A LOT. they fired the guy who fixed the series (randy bernard) because they werent happy about a 40k reduction in money distribution for the full timers. team threatened to quit if the aerokits were to continue (2015/16? they had a liittle higher cost). im not a hardcore indycar fan anynore but i can see the current 26 car grid reducing to 22 next year and then 18 for 2026 and then the teams will demand hybrids to be gone. im printing this because im 100% sure this is going to happen haha
