That wouldn't make a normal vehicle go very far.

That's 1.1 kwh every lap, not every hour. Think of it a 3960 killowatt seconds (1,1kw X 3600 seconds) per lap for however many laps it takes to use an hour of race time.

Fact is they have 161 HP for 33 seconds, EVERY LAP, not every hour. Also think they are getting around 1/3 of that same track without the fuel they required before.

Now tell me again how much energy they are recovering in an hour?
