I meant ..no limit on recovery, keep deployment to 350kW.
Should eliminate traditional rear brakes as an added benefit.
1500 kW would do that - has the FIA agreed ?
unlikely there would be a gearbox helping the MG as much as the 2014-25 one has
We're talking hypotheticals, so of course not. 😃
Not sure what you mean about the gearbox.
(atm 2024) there's 8 different mechanical relationships between the PU and this planet Earth
these 8 we call gears
eg the driver eg repeatedly downshifts throughout braking to keep at high PU rpm ie 'high' voltage
so (2024) GU-K action is kept at max 120 kW via voltage being 'high' in the designed range - and so the current is 'low'
(without downshifting there'd be low rpm ie 120 kW via 'low' voltage and 'high' current)
the rules anyway limit 'high' current/'low' voltage - clipping MG torque/power below c.5800 rpm
keeping rpm (voltage) 'high' and torque (current) 'low' gives higher efficiency from the MGU-K & so-called CE
so yes the gearbox helps the electric side
ie this benefit wouldn't exist if the MG drove the wheels directly
