I would like to point out that this was not my idea and I gain no profit from its promotion. All credit goes to F1McLaren who posted this on not606. I thought it was a good idea and I post it here as well.
What would you make of the idea of drivers being able to set KERS up differently for races, or indeed if the technology works and its not overload for the drivers, being able to change its set-up lap to lap?
Changing it lap to lap sounds a bit like work overload but certainly having different set-ups for the whole race could work.
By which I mean atm KERS is limited to 6.7 seconds of 80HP per lap.
What about setting the total power per lap but changing how drivers can choose to use it?
-I mean they could reduce its power per second but increase its time to cover the whole main straight of a track.
-They could reduce its power per second but increase its time to cover the whole main and back straight of a track.
- They could reduce its power per second but increase its time to give a little burst out of every corner.
-They could even increase the power per second and have a couple of seconds burst at the start of a straight or behind another car to really blast past them/stay ahead of a car slipstreaming them.
It would really open up the scope for tactical driving and racing.
I think if they did they should increase the power to maybe 100HP or something.
What do you think of the concept?
