rain lights

[gitane]

I've been noticing that in braking zones the rain light sometimes will flash. I doesn't seem to correspond directly to where the brakes are applied, nor stay on long enough to be a real brake light as such. Does anyone know what controls this. I've been mulling on acceleration sensors. But really I'm still stumped.

Cheers Gitane

It comes on when they are harvesting over a certain amount of energy from the KERS.

I have been looking for it in the rules or regulations but never found in, I've seen this on autosport

"If you are flat out on the straight and you are above a certain threshold - above 95% throttle for more than one second, and you are above 180km/h and you see a 120KW torque reduction - it flashes the rear light for a second to warn the driver behind."
