KERS system for Toyota TS030 Hybrid

[spdzlla]

Hi, Toyota TS030 Hybrid features the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) regenerative braking device (the Le Mans organisers, ACO, use the alternate name ERS) to charge a supercapacitor. The extra power is directed to the rear wheels. Under the 2012 Le Mans rules they were allowed to use the system at any speed, unlike Audi who had elected to send power to the front, with a restriction to a minimum speed of 120 km/h.

So, my question is will we get to use KERS system for our new Toyota TS030 Hybrid in the game?

We have it.

We have it.

How do you use it? I am playing on DS3. Which button?

The drivers in real life have no control over when it kicks in. The same in GT6. Under acceleration, it uses up energy, and it is then restored under braking. Check the bottom right in the interior, and look at the data logger for graphical info.

It does it automatically.

hsv, this is not true. In real races (Le Mans) driver have control over the KERS. Driver push the button and then car have more power. In last year in Le Mans were special breaking and acceleration zones. In this year have no zones. Unfortunately in GT6 Toyota TS030 have no KERS. We drive car only with combustion engine. The peak power the Toyotas (with KERS is about 830 HP). We have about 540-570 HP, so Toyota is not faster than Audi R18 '11.

Sorry for my english.

This is not true, on all parts. The ACO prevented control over ERS in 2012 in order to prevent push to pass racing. Secondly, the ERS system does work. The Toyota's power is measured on IC engine only, and the Toyota is a damn sight faster than the R18. Please do graphical comparisons between the acceleration of the TS030 and R18, and you will see the acceleration drop off as the hybrid system drops to 0%.

Not getting into the TS030 auto or manual KERS argument. F1 currently has ERS (Energy Recovery System) and DRS (Drag Reduction System); would there be a new Formula GT version with either/both systems implemented in the future?
