Real F1 Racing Gets Updates, Turbo!

I'm a fan of all things moto. Cars, trucks, bikes. I don't follow much professional racing, but when an article in Wired talked had a video about the updates to the rules of Formula 1 racing, I was happy to watch. And surprised.

Among all the body sculpting, weight changes, engine rules updates was an interesting addition to the cars: a regenerative braking system that can be used as on-demand boost! I was immediately reminded of F-Zero and Mario Kart. Each car gets a total of 6 seconds per lap of boost, and more than 80 horsepower, to be used at the drivers descretion.

Straight out of the video game handbook!
