And they are requiring the car to run the race with 2/3 rds the fuel? That means they have to get 50% bettter mileage! 100 kilos versus 150 kilos fuel, if you base the current 100 versus the old 150, or 33% if you use the 150 versus the 100. Thats a huge increase in mileage under racing conditions when you consider they have the same amount to total power. It will be interesting to see how close they get to the same lap times as before, and if they can it is a testament to short term high capacity energy storage and application.
