“The current V8 is 95kg, 100kg if you add the weight of the MGU. This increases to 120kg when you include the ancillary parts, such as the radiators and other cooling devices. With the 2014 power unit, the V6 turbocharged engine will be a minimum of 145kg, plus 35kg for the battery. At 180kg, this is a 80% increase over the current units, plus a further 20kg for the ancillaries such as the intercooler and other radiators. despite losing .8L, engine weight doubled thanks to all the new kers/battery related garbage. | ||

R.I.P Allan Simonsen. 9 Mins of Le Mans and he crashes in his Aston Martin. He was taken to the hospital, still conscious but died a few hours later from his injuries. I cant even remember the last time someone died in Le Mans. | ||

No it counts as one unit (which also has to last longer than before), but the difference is not that big. I rembember that the early KERS weight around 50kg, now the batteries are significantly lighter. | ||

The last one was in 1997: http://www.motorsportmemorial.org/query.php?db=ct&q=circuit_a&n=74,550,2299,73,71,724,75,79,76,39,46 Still, their were big accidents over the last years. Allan McNishs accident a few years back was horrifiyng, not for the driver itself, but all the photographers. A miracle that now one was even injured with all the carbon fiber parts flying around. Or when Anthony Davidson broke his back was not too long ago. | ||

However then the onboard footage from Oliver Gavin shows how the Aston just "went off" into such a highspeed frontal impact Edit: Confirmed 75g on impact | ||
