Saw this the other day, superb bit of kit. I cant wait for next session to begin.

Heard some of the drivers say that they are hard to drive as the boost is instantaneous and you really have to feather the throttle so you don't end up backwards.  Could make things interesting :)

It has to be an upgrade on the same old boring crap of last season.

Turbochargers on the other hand harvest waste heat energy from the exhaust.

Hmmm....

I worked on the sealing of this new system. Cracking bit of kit! Looking forward to seeing it in action!

I wonder how long it will be before this sort of thing is on a road car. 5 years?
