NASCAR, still stuck in the past, using old tech, antiquated ideology, and racing's equivalent of "professional wrestling", needs to get serious and start looking at what their European counterparts are doing. This is a video about the new cars for the F1 2009 season, showcasing a new tech, KERS (Kenetic Energy Recovery System). In short, KERS stores waste energy from braking much like production hybrids, then transforms it into a once per lap 6.5 second 85 horsepower boost, courtesy almost any racing video game ever made (except for NASCAR games, that is). I call that awesome.
Make no mistake about it, compared to this, the racing we get over here in the states might as well be with a horse and buggy.
