Unlike IndyCar, F1 has to appeal to road car manufacturers to stay technologically relevant. These manufacturers wanted those kinds of engine regs because the R&D is more transferable to the road car department.

​@@mrgalaxy396That's true, but the manufacturers in IndyCar agreed to use a super capacitor. I'm sure they could've vetoed the decision if they really wanted to use batteries.

​@@mrgalaxy396last time F1 was relevant to the automotive sector was many decades ago. Lately their hybrid tech is outdated compared to the steps that have been taken by car makers not involved in F1

@@mrgalaxy396 R&D transferable to road cars is just a myth, has been the case for decades already. Road car tech is far ahead even (except materials which is where F1 shines). Racing allowing to push more tech wouldn't allow some series to survive, even F1, the costs would be out of this world.

@@d.k.n4803That’s the point of the regulations to be more closely aligned with R&D that can be transferred to road cars that’s why they’re focusing on the electric side instead of the ICE.

With fuel you cause x damage, with this new cars using "sustainable energies" you cause 3x damage, are way more expensive, can't repair any component with little to no chance to recycle or reuse but are 0 emission so who cares about the rest. Anyways, still the best philosophy for a brighter future

​@@oscardbg9654 actually, no... you're just flat out wrong and ignorant. "can't compare any component" is lying right through your teeth and no chance to recycle or reuse is also wrong. Nissan leaf batteries are being used as power banks. Extremely useful and can be used in the future for solar energy to power the world. but you're too narrow minded to be open to things like that.

@@oscardbg9654 You literally have no idea of what you are talking about.

@@jacobitosuperstar oh I'm sorry if I offended you I didn't know you are the son of Elon Musk, so you obviously are a pro electric cars

@@oscardbg9654 This better not be the best insult you can throw me.

Nah I doubt it. All though this will sound soft any vehicle racing league that does them speeds is just a death league and will slowly kill off the drivers. It’ll be back to square one with safety

@yese2769 been doing ovals for over 100 years and the cars have only gotten faster. They run 5 wide going 240, slowing down isn't happening

@@StalinsPurge I’m just saying going 240 is a deathwish. I don’t know if safety is gonna work if the new cars are going 260 mph

They'll use the same 2.2 liter V6's. They will sound the same.

They already sound like shit

Yeah they'll sound the same. Literally nothing has changed except for the additional component within the bell housing of the gearbox. The motor and supercaps all live in one tiny package. Will Power reported after a test that the best thing about the hybrid is now they have the ability to engine brake way better like the old pre-2012 V8s.

Too bad Texas is dropped from the calendar for 2024. And there are literally no oval races before the Indy 500 next year

I personally prefer the sound of the 10 Zylinder when ich ehrlich bin. 😅 Der 12 klingt geil, Ohrgasmus-würdig. Aber ich finde auf Renndistanz anstrengend für die Gehörgänge. Die 10er klingen auf mich so böööse und die Downshifts knallen wie Gewehrschüsse. 👹

Bring back the verdammte Hochgeschwindigkeits-Ovale

No F1 team wants or needs that

​@@JZTechEngineeringF1 desperately needs to get rid of the ridiculously expensive, heavy and overly complicated hybrid bs. V10's would be a favorite of drivers and the fans.

Sebastian Vettel in Russian grand prix 2019, Bring back fu**ing V12 engines!

The whole system weighs only 30kg, and improved manufacturing techniques for the aeroscreen coming in at the same time means the total weight increase for the 2024 cars is only 20kg, give or take.

did you skip the safer part in case of crash or battery leak? or am i missing something?

They press a button and it engages something that will spin and generate electricity. So you would do it going into corners since it would slow you down a bit

@@esavage8855 so is it using the axle spinning connected to some sort of generator that provides electricity to the capacitor? The bit I’m confused about is the energy source.

@@captainross4706 I don’t know all the technical stuff but yeah that’s the basic principle

My guess would be that it would be through something like an alternator, so you would lose power during the regen phase, but gain power during deployment

Why not? Oval races are usually heavy fuel-savers. Most drivers are coasting well before the corners and use engine breaking to slow down.

@@cg_2k72 relying on electronic energy harvesting to decelerate when you're barreling into a corner at 240 seems sketchy

​@@nuckels188 I mean... anything at 240 mph feels sketchy.

@@nuckels188 Why? Sounds a lot better than friction braking!

It will still be fun. The super cap isn’t heavy at all, and it’s basically going to be a sort of push-to-pass system, except it’s electrical now instead of how it was before. Lamborghini actually used this technology in the Sian concept. Why they ditched this system and went with a more conventional hybrid instead baffles me

@@mrsoisauce9017 And the entire hybrid system fits within the bell housing of the gear box, so they can use existing engines and existing chassis.

It probably won’t even effect the sound that much easier, as it seems that other than introducing hybrid tech, they aren’t changing the engines

Synthetic doesn't solve the nitrogen oxide problems

Synthetic fuel is a myth petrol will always pollute

@@JanTonovskiSelective Catalyst Reduction and Exhaust Gas Recirculation. Edit: Also variable timing of the exhaust camshaft to close the exhaust valve early to trap some exhaust in requiring less EGR.

Indycar has been V6 turbos since 2012, and starting this year they've been using 100% ehtanol second-generation biofuel

What they're literally go even faster as a result

Because they think they’re much smarter than they actually are.

Indy is 99.9% flat out. The .1% is coasting. The only time they brake is coming into pit lane.

As long as it's not on a superspeedway but still, the braking is short and not near as hard on a circuit or street.

Brakes are rarely used on oval tracks. Most of the time when they need to reduce speed for a corner, they lift and engine brake. Brakes are mainly for avoiding unexpected situations and for pitstops. Road courses obviously require actual braking every single lap.

Some. Not Indy

@@kekkonenprkl One thing about the hybrid system, as reported by Will Power after a test last month, is that it now has much better engine braking like during the pre-2012 V8 era.

horner said that f1 was thinking of doing 3 cylinders but the idea didnt go very far

Nothing was better than V10

Its the best racing out there imo. Its so close and competitive, with drivers going 2 or 3 wide and doing crazy moves.

It isn’t about emissions it’s about making the cars faster

and?

Yeah, but the racing quality is 15 years ahead of Formula One.

Its just pulling a handle lmao. most of them will do that on straights anyways

They already have to constantly adjust the weight jacker

How exactly?

@@Simracingisgoated Just look at F1. The leaders get away from the pack and conserve energy and pull away while the mid field battle, use up all the energy, and have to charge the battery and use energy just trying to keep the position. Indycar is the has the most competitive and close field. No need to change anything.

@@hkdxforsaken So they have a strategy? We aren't even using a similar battery if you watched the video

This’ll improve the racing if anything

1: these aren’t electric, they’re hybrids, and the electricity isn’t even used for environmental friendliness, it’s basically nitrous boost without the excessive costs and engine risks 2: electric cars can be exciting. The terrifying Rimac, Hyundai’s loud rally car (yep, they finally made an electric car that snarles) Extreme E, and Formula E are all electric 3: the only electric cars we should be banning are Teslas, because Elon Musk is mustache twistingly evil

Why? As a father of two daughters, I see this as an absolute win. Plant a tree knowing you won’t sit under it, right? The cars will still be fast and now our kids and grandkids won’t die from climate change

​@@tjcadotte37becouse it takes away the entire feel for the sport, and the idea that we are "changing the climate" is simply not true.

@@coachjoel9463how is it not true?

​@@tjcadotte37 F1 cars and Indycars don't even produce the pollution 0.0003% in this world What about factories traffic and daily works Such small cars in these doesn't produce pollution or climate change 😂 Major world pollution problems come from Factories Very heavy traffic all over the world burning trees etc etc I can't even explain.......

They aren’t electric

You have a mental age of 25 and that is sad and pathetic of you.

25 years old people sucks they are so whiny about life goodbye forever ♾️

@@phoenixfire257 25 is around the age your brain fully develops lmao

You couldn’t be more wrong.

Now hear me out, what if we had the engines going at pretty much max power all the time, then when they don’t need all 500 hp and only need 400 hp, we use a 100 hp electric motor, store the power, then we can all of a sudden can use 600 hp. So more flat out racing! Just like you said it should be! Oh wait you don’t actually want that you just don’t like electric motors is cars.

@@aidantawney4776 How about we use V12 petrol engines that don’t need recharging and can go flat out all the time.
