: KERS ClaneO 25-03-2009, 13:42:41 So which teams are going to be using the KERS system this weekend then?? Toyota, Torro Rosso, RBR, Williams, Force India and Brawn GP have officially said that they will NOT be using it this weekend. Any of the bigger players using it?? seano 25-03-2009, 13:47:48 Both Ferrari and Renault are planning to run with it this weekend I believe. Seano frizz 25-03-2009, 14:27:26 Kers? seano 25-03-2009, 14:31:44 Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems - basically storing unused energy under braking and then using it under acceleration. Most are using electrical storage systems, but one team is using a flywheel device. Seano ClaneO 25-03-2009, 16:17:41 its Toyota that use the flywheel system isnt it?? Will be interesting to see which teams can take advantage of it and how they use it, cant wait to see :) clarki 25-03-2009, 16:20:31 Mate, cant wait for the new season to kick off either - things just dont seem right when F1 shuts down for the winter... ...all people talk about is footbazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Naith 25-03-2009, 16:21:42 no williams are running the flywheel system renault are using it in Oz :D Matty 25-03-2009, 16:37:46 no williams are running the flywheel system renault are using it in Oz :D Yeah and this has proven to be the most reliable one hasnt it. Willaims are looking pretty good again. seano 25-03-2009, 16:42:06 I reckon we should call electric KERS setups "systems" and flywheel energy storage contraptions "devices". Lets see Renault and Ferrari can electrify and electrocute the marshalls, while Sir Frank's device can cut them in two! Its gonna be a great show! Seano MrTurner 25-03-2009, 20:36:20 I keep thinking of 'Wayne' :o First race of the season will be an interesting one for sure. Jon Seal 25-03-2009, 22:48:49 Even Im gonna watch it.
