  • The NTT IndyCar Series recently completed its first and final major test of its hybrid engine and energy recovery system before the ERS goes into mass production for 2024, and RACER's Marshall Pruett was there to document it.
    Our second video delves into what Scott Dixon and Will Power felt on track and how the ERS unit alters the handling and performance of the Chevy- and Honda-powered cars.

    Great things will come with this. One of the benefits is that the drivers would be able to restart their own engines after stalling on track.
    At the high end of power deployment, that would put the cars nearly on par with power with F1. I can't wait until the ex-F1 guys drive this and see what they think.
    Assuming that the supercap banks can last a whole lap and that they can recover more than they deploy (like how the LMDh/GTP in WEC/IMSA deploy at max 50 kW but can recover 200 kW), maybe it won't be as quick as an F1 car around the track but it certainly will be faster.

      I will be blunt, EV's in a motorsport setting is interesting because alot of the rules for road cars come off and they can do stuff that I would question in a road car. In general EV races tend to be a lighter if only for one reason, less battery. They don't need 100 kWh for a range target, so they don't attempt to go that big. Regen get's interesting. For example, in Formula E's Gen 3 Car.... the rear braking is all motor based, they don't under a rear set of physical brakes (my guess is that the fronts are their for redundancy in case things fail). The machine is also in a constant state of regen at all times, collecting energy from the front motor.
      After watching a few races for the 9th season, they might be on to something and to be blunt.... EV's NEED motorsport, they need a laboratory to kick tires on crap. So far, that kind of experimentation has been on the public road which I feel it is asking for trouble. "Unsafe at any speed" kind of trouble.

      The 2.4 isn’t scrapped. It’s just been sidelined due to costs. The regen motors can make up to 150hp, but as they stated, you will have significantly more instantaneous low end torque, which the current cars lack. Even with a 60hp bump, the torque added has to be massive. Like 200lb/ft instantly.

It means the cars with 1.6 liter engine + ERS reaching 1000+ HP with only 110 kg of fuel on full race. So imagine the same in Indy500 with 2-3 refuel only.

      @amjan I believe CART/CHAMPCARS were in the 900+ hp and 16,000 rpms zone up to 2002. I think after that, they lowered the horsepower down to 700 to 750 for reliability reasons.

      They aren’t “miles behind that”. Hell with this new setup, they will be pushing 950hp in quali trim at Indy, with more torque than the old cars. Mind you, todays cars, even without motors, are setting track records.

      FIA made up an excuse for that, which is the cost and reliability. Let's talk a bit of F1 here. The V6 hybrid makes 950hp, around the same as the old V10 while weighing around only 50-60kg more WHILE being able to last 7-8 races vs 3-4 races for the V10. I'd say it's a upgrade for reliability and they probably get to spend less money. But of course in term of sound V10 is obviously superior.
      Ah right I forgot to add, they also have far superior fuel consumption. Old F1 had refueling, new F1 don't. Which mean they have to last the entire race without refueling.

      The current car is already faster than the V8…and has been…even with more weight and less downforce. These electric motors…ho aside, will add massive low end torque to the current platform, more than the V8s had.

      I don’t see any reason for them to turn down the engine further since the electric motor takes some load off the engine. Rather I can see them giving back the 60 hp used for push to pass now that the electric motor is used for that instead of the engine.
