That acceleration is beautiful. Is it true that they reintroduced turbochargers in engines this year?
Yeah, V6 Turbos instead of V8s
- A lot less downforce with this years cars as exhaust blown diffusers were fully gone too, plus a smaller front wing (75mm less on each side, iirc), as well as a lower nose to prevent t-boning.
Last year they had a kenetic energy recovery system which gave 80HP for 6.6 seconds over an entire lap, this year the energy recovery system gives 161BHP over 33.3 seconds per lap..
