- Hey guys, I am back with another video detailing the new game-changing hybrid engine coming to IndyCar. Covid delayed the implementation of the new hybrid engine until 2024. This delay gives us time to analyze the differences and create new strategies for the season in 2 years. One main takeaway that we get right now is that the new engine guarantees more power, which means more traction and more torque out of the corners. I am super excited to see how this new engine shapes the future of IndyCar.

You sound like Jeremy Clarkson when you say "more powah", and it's great!
Poweeeeeeer! Shpeeeeeeed! hhh
Mo powah babeh
Clarksons face when he says it🤣😂
That's how Brits talk. Weird. They invented English, but Americans perfected it.
What I understand about the hybrid is that it is 800HP and with P2P will be over 900HP. That is significant HP gains.
Yeah I've heard that too, probably wait to we get official figures, but I suspect to the higher side with all improvements considered.
@@rodbrown8306 Everyone I have heard is saying the higher number over 900hp and who knows how much more power Honda or Chevy will get out of it when they develop it.
The power of the 2.4 engine will be 800 hp, 50 hp will be provided by the p2p and 50 hp by the ERS, totaling 900 hp in its first stage. Then they will have to increase the power because the cars are very heavy and need more than 1000 hp to go well on road circuits. They will have to improve the brakes, improve grip a lot and add more downforce.
Thanks Romain for the great update regarding tech hybrid for IndyCar. Looking forward to seeing you and the rest of the drivers and teams when the Toronto race finally returns for the 1st time since 2019.
hey romain, how does a race weekend differ from f1 to indy car?
love the content mate
That would be interesting to hear
I second this motion!
Yes, I would love to know as well.
Well the good news is that Detroit is moving to a downtown circuit in 2023 so instead of driving on a bumpy island you can drive on a bumpy city street
Romain, long time F1 fan here. Saw you at Long Beach (amazing race) and decided to do a few laps myself in iRacing. Gotta say, I am liking these IndyCars. Way simpler but also less bs. and I totally agree with you, coming out of the pits and being able to constantly push without MGU and tire management is much better racing. It's like the old F1 days. Definitely will follow along IndyCar some more but I still don't like the ovals.
Longtime fan of both. Definitely prefer the road courses and street courses. But check out the short ovals where they run road course wings instead of the speedway wings, Iowa and World Wide Technology raceway. They have more tight racing than the bigger ovals, Texas and even Indy. If it was up to me, Indy would be the biggest and fastest and at least it is low banked and they would drop Texas.
Excited to see you on track next month. Got my Indy 500 tickets.
It is good to see this light shined on Indycar, its a great series with so much history.
Love to hear your insight and your race breakdowns!
Love these videos Roman thanks so much for making them!

Just that one correction, and soon you’ll be a big follower of the Buff Horses and Hrsprs
Awesome. Routing for you every weekend!
I’m thinking that Mr. Grosjean will be more accustomed than most in the field with the concept of V6 Hybrid engines. I agree that it would be good for the sport to have more manufacturers involved with the series.
I really like your videos. We watch both Indycar and F1 and will follow you wherever you race. I like Indycar more because it very seldomly has one team winning almost every race, every season.....year after year....you know where I'm going with that. Although we're enjoying seeing that team struggle this year. 😉
On a personal note, I hope you and your family get to see each other a lot while you race here in America and the distance doesn't pose a huge problem. We (my wife and I) have never followed a racer before like you. You have a beautiful family and wish you and your wife the best as you continue your career here.
Every video is fun and informative from Romain. As an American, it took a former F1 Frenchman to get me excited about Indy car.
Can’t wait to see you in Nashville!
I'm actually quite excited about the hybrid power unit in Indy. If they use it as basically a rechargeable push-to-pass, it should retain the purity of the racing while opening up more overtaking options late in races. I legitimately think Romain could have won at Long Beach with just a few more seconds of P2P, but in the current system, when it's gone, it's just gone. This new system has the potential to create an environment where intelligent use of braking and throttle control can produce a late-race advantage that simply does not exist with the current engine.
I hope IndyCar appreciates what a great ambassador you have been for them. 🤝
RG...great vid. Not race related, but the next time you and the family travel via motorhome to the west, you need to check out the 'California Alps'...aka the eastern Sierra. Highway 395 from LA to Reno. Stop off at Cerro Gordo, Mammoth, June Lake Loop, Bridgeport, then on to Geona NV. Fishing, hiking, mountain biking, exploring, etc. Amazing country.
Thanks Romain. Great video.
Waiting for that championship!
Thanks for the video.
More power means MO POWAAAAA BABEH🔥 LIGHTNING⚡ LIGHTNING⚡ LIGHTNING⚡*turns super Saiyan*
Romain,
Apart from the driving and competitive aspect, what is it about IndyCar that has enabled you to adapt and to be quick so soon? You truly look like you’re having the time of your life whenever we get to see you during a weekend, but what is it that has made you feel so comfortable and “at home?”
Obviously I can't just speak for him, but I have an educated guess: F1 cars are *so* advanced these days that they basically demand a very specific driving style, and tyre degradation is much more of a factor. Grosjean's best moments in F1 came when he could push hard and make brave overtaking moves. Indycar is a setting that rewards that kind of driving much more consistently than F1.
Are you sure about the HP numbers? I thought IndyCar's goal was near 900 total HP with the hybrid. The current car can develop near 750 HP on road courses.
It's funny you asked, as he lives the sport. But you might be right, your numbers I thought I have heard as well. Maybe marketing boosted the numbers
@@Rearmostbean Everyone knows that current indycars have a maximum power of 750 hp on road circuits. The new 2.4 engine will give 800 hp + 50 hp from the p2p and 50 hp will come from the ERS. Romain was wrong about the potency. It is official information of the category and the engine manufacturers.
Cheering for you to get your first Indycar win this year !!!!
I LOVE the IndyCar hat!
Very informative
I could see using a regen paddle in the draft when you have enough speed that you’d normally lift slightly or dab the brake or pass. Then you’d be using the energy from the car ahead to charge your battery
That would be 👍
The cars sounded great at the hybrid testing a few weeks ago is all I can say about it!
Good stuff. Indy needs more power and a new chassis immediately
Wow they're going to stuff a larger engine and a hybrid motor and battery system into the same chassis? That will be interesting
Besides good competition, the ability overpass, the sound of the cars is particularly important to me. Being an amateur sound recordist, I plan to capture audio at this years Indy500 open practice week long sessions. The current Indy cars sound so good. I have mixed feelings about the 20K RPM F1 car sound.
Hey Romain!
How do the Wheels/Steering/Tires of an F1 car differ to IndyCar.
It would be interesting to hear how the pitstop and overall race strategies differ with circuit types (Street, Oval, track).
Keep it Up 😁!
Getting Indy news from romain, who would have thought it.
Damn every time I see you , you seem alot better glad to see you still do what you love ❤
I think a hybrid powertrain is a step backwards unless it is a mild hybrid system like road cars today use. Even F1 is looking to eliminate the more complex parts of their powertrain (like the MGU-H) because of ever-increasing costs.
The inherent differences between F1 and Indycar means that there is no massive development race between the manufacturers. Shouldn’t be a problem.
@@mmonkeyman1403, even if there isn't a development race, building a race-spec electric powertrain to complement the new 2.4 V6 ICE is an extremely expensive undertaking. The increase in cost to the teams will be significant.
@@flyingphoenix113 the hybrid system will be a spec component for all power unit manufacturers in Indycar. The manufacturers will still need to develop their ICE component, so nothing super different in that sense
Mahle is building the hybrid unit for the series while Chevy and Honda are building the 2.4L V6 turbos. Right now, it’s looking like it’s a pure KERS unit with a possibility of them doing electric only on pitstops.
The H has become such a money drain, even F1 is getting rid of it in 26. The MGU-K is similar to a normal hybrid system as it harvests energy from the brakes. If finances were not an option, I could see an H system on the ovals as there is minimal braking, but for as few ovals as they're running right now, that would be just a waste of time and money
Romain so happy to see you in IndyCar but I need to ask you for a favor. Please win a Race this year?
Get that win
hi romain, how are you?
Are you enjoying the speeds in the Indy 500 testing?
What do u think of the new hass f1 car
Where the hell are your eyebrows :D :D I was thinking like half of the video what is wrong with your face :D Good content, love it!
Go Speed Go!
Romain - how do you like Push to Pass versus DRS on F1?
How is your experience in Indycar different from F1 ? Politics, fun, cooperation with teammates, and other drivers ( non teammates)? Knowing what you know today, which do you prefer and why?
Thanks
is the handling of an indycar harder than a f1 car like not the overall handling like when you turn is the formula 1 car harder in turning or indycar please answer
Use the wheels like a generator to charge battery.
Momentum will use less energy at top speeds
Pretty fast on Indianapolis, for 650 hp!
MO POWAH BABY
How about recharging when in the slipstream? Should work if not a little bit slowly.
What do you mean exactly when you say hybrid?
The eye brid sounds good. Can't wait for the Indy 500.
He said it's NOT a battery system at 2min point in video. How is the energy stored? I am confused.
Capacitors I would guess
@@James-vj5hz Interesting, capacitors are much heavier than a battery of equal energy storage.
It would be cool if Indycar became f1 engine customers
F1 engines cost more than running an entire season of IndyCar.
F1 engines are useless for indycar
Still be go carts compared to F1's spaceships
Grogsen fan forever
Would love to see an indycar game made so that I can play as romain again
IndyCar 2022? Good idea, someone pass this on to Codemasters and EA
Motorsport Games were scheduled to have one released in 2023.
@@danielhenderson8316 Given the recent controversy around Motorsport Games and their NASCAR game, I'm not sure that'll happen.
Try RFactor2 on the PC
Eye Bread Engine(TM).
Adding over 100hp and no aero upgrades idk how to feel about it
Hi Romain, I just have one question. What was your most favorite F1 team you have driven for?
What I like about Indy Car is that it's an engine, a driver and some spare parts. Nothing too complicated. TBH, I think Indycar should be reintegrated into the larger FIA "minor league" scheme, so drivers can have sup[elicense points from racing indy. It'd be great if Indicars got to race at some european and asian circuits as well.
Indycar does not need the FIA and hopefully it never ends up in their hands because it would be the end of it. The FIA sees indy racing as a potential threat to F1 and would destroy it if it could.
Hi 👋
Are current Indycars faster than current F2 cars?
100 h.p increase. Hells yes.. I love that IndyCar is a more simple machine.. it puts the race in the driver's hand not the engineers
There needs to be a new chassis. Pretty much non negotiable.
Just want to first say that the content is great and I'm really enjoying it, but I do have one piece of feedback for the editing style. Can you please stop using the zoom in/out cuts while you're talking because it is very distracting, unnecessary, and disorienting. Cheers mate!
You’re currently at 700hp
Romain es-ce-que tu pourrais au moins mette les sous titres en Français stp 🥺
2024? That's two years too long
I really wish Indy went with the v8.
hey romain grosjean i hope your ok i wander is it feels like to be in a indycar series sadly your not in formula 1
Greetings from Brazil!! Invite some fans to stay whith team during a weekend..lol...could be me...
The lack of adaptive cruise control and AEB on the manual would genuinely put me in the auto.
Indycar needs to use v10 engine no hybrid. Use the engine that F1 drivers wish they could use.
Hybrid technology came in F1 in 2009.
MO PAWA
Why go to hybrid? Just go to the bigger engine. This more fuel efficiency is nonsense. The most ungreen thing there is is driving a very un fuel efficient car around just for kicks #motorsports
Love f1 and indycar. I hope they don't turn up sounding like a hairdryer 😒 like f1.
Indy needs a new chassis. It’s been the same and even though I’m only a viewer and not a driver, it’s kinda boring at this point. The thing about f1 is it keeps you wondering with reg changes. Indy being a spec series with more than a decade old chassis, there’s not much learning for the teams and viewers to do.
Les écolos n'épargneront donc aucune catégorie
Commie COVID story?
I think it is a big mistake going this route!! I love the normal aspirated engine..more stuff to go wrong more expensive!! And I think it kinda sucks!!
Please stop zooming in and out of Romain's head, can't watch the thing!
Have to say, if it wasn't for Romain my son and I wouldn't be watching Indycar. The racing itself is joyful, but the commentating is woeful. The coverage on Sky TV comes across as amateurish at best we both sit here cringing at the build up to the race. F1 certainly have got it right in that regard.
I'm guessing you are from Europe, or from the states and don't watch any other types of racing.
@@nickb2049 Correct sir, am from the UK and don't watch American sporting events.
@@djm9937 got it, it makes sense when you look at racing culture between Europe and the States. everything around racing in the States, from broadcast to track activities, is done in a way to be as casual and laid back as possible. I see a lot of Europeans see it as "amateur".
Where as there’s a group of us in the US that want to ditch the Sky TV commentary crew for the exact opposite reason because they’re dull and dreary to listen to. It’s not so bad this year since the racing is good, but Croft and Brundle has made dull races excruciating.
@@nickb2049 I enjoy the approachable, relaxed, blue collar nature of the indycar stuff, its not all star studded craziness and sort of celebs and stuff like f1
What a waste changing engine tech so often. Waste of resources and money. Can those engines be punched out to 2.4l? Or are new engines needed? They should have just left the old engines, there is no technical advantage for the V6 junk these days. None. If you want to add hybrid, then just add hybrid to the old engines and stop developing and wasting money on new .engine platforms for nothing.
Wow! You almost give as much info as the manufacturers. Yawn
INDYCAR catching up with F1 at phenomenal pace, decade + 😂😉 You're doing brilliantly in America Romain, amazing after what you've been through, can't wait for first win 💪🤍♥️
