Nice day for a local cruise around southeast Valley. Thanks to Nick for joining me and letting my brother ride with you this morning. He really enjoyed it.

Those margins have been RBR-esque this year. Aside from the cooling and ducting, I wonder if the inertia of the connecting rod in between the two helps keep the turbo rpm in range when the throttle is off (less lag?), freeing ERS for use elsewhere?
Hoping that Honda's got something in the works to make an impact right away next year!

All the racers knew that putting turbos on the cars was going to open up a can of worms with regulations and keeping things remotely even in the power department. Looks like it's becoming a reality. Kudos to the MERC Engineers for landing the first blow!

Right but I'm saying it would not work for a 4 cyl.
You can run a shaft through the middle between the intake somehow maybe.
On a diff note, I hope Honda can match the tech and bring the fight to them next year with McLaren.
