KTM get 5% power boost from F1


Fascinating post on Kropotkins blog (where that name comes from, I don't know) about Harold Bartol using an F1 type KERS system on the KTM 125cc GP bikes.

The full post is here.

Jol sent me a link the other day to an article about KERS in F1, which at the time I really didn't understand, explaining that at times following a crash the system can discharge in the form of electric shocks to anyone who touches it. Now I can't find that link. Argh.

As Kropotkin says - I wonder how the rule makers will respond to this.
