Watching poor mans F1 on Sunday ... they have re-introduced the "push to pass" system... for all intents and purposes it produces a KERS boost... but each driver has a set allowance (120 seconds) to be used at their discretion any time during the race... but once it has gone it is gone... the on screen graphic highlights the drivers names in green when they deploy the PtoP... (similar to F1... scrolling position order...).
When they were following a few cars duking it out, they lined up each driver in race order w/avail. PtoP remaining and you could see live as it got sucked down and the cars speed increase...
So this gave me food for thought... notwithstanding the nature of the KERS system... how fast it recharges, etc... would such a system used by IndyCar make F1 more interesting...
For mine, if KERS was replaced with a Push to Pass system (with a more applicable name befitting F1...) with say 120 seconds... maybe 150 seconds to be used at the drivers discretion I think it would add to the spectacle... could you imagine a Hamilton on old tyres with 50 seconds left desperately trying to fend off a faster FA on fresher rubber with maybe 25 seconds available... it would give the driver a little more strategy to play with, and I am all for more driver control...
