Cosworth preparing for KERS in light of customers intent to use it in 2011
With KERS making a comeback for 2011, Cosworth will provide their customer teams with engines that are fully capable of being mated to the energy recovery systems. Although so far Williams is the only Cosworth-powered team which has announced it's intent to use KERS.
"Our plans for 2011 are flat out. We want to make sure that we are well prepared for the return of KERS," Cosworth's Mark Gallagher shared with our colleagues over at 'Autosport'.
"Getting that done is a great deal more complicated than just letting the teams simply attach the systems. We need to reconfigure the engine, plus change the ancillaries – but that is what we are ready to do to ensure our teams can run KERS if they wish."
