MGU-K info

All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

I'm not sure that this is exacly the same as the MGUK in their F1 but close.
I'm not sure, but I'd say that's probably the mgu from the P1. AFAIK it's the only Mclaren e-motor available. The 09-13 f1 mgu was a Zytek rather than A Mclaren or Merc design.

(yes, I have read the previous post)
autogyro iirc posted some very impressive synchronous efficiency/performance plots some time ago
To answer that I would just post the previous papers, because they explain it all.

Are you 'saying you know who', or you talking about K factors and admittance?

What happens to an ICE, at anything other than closed throttle, when the load is removed? It's not a perfect world with constant tyre adhesion, and the ICE is not a constant power device at all rpm's/throttle openings. Accelerator pedal linked 'traction control' is illegal under current rules.
