    The last I'd heard was about the Nissan 'delta' crash and had not been following subsequent races. Brazil was a happy bit of news.

    What really surprised me was the 'rear wheel capacitor' hybrid drivetrain. I immediately thought of the Estima minivan.

    The hybrid was entered into 6 WEC races last year. There was only one car entered in the last five after the other car was pretty much destroyed in a crash at LeMans. Out of the last five, the hybrid won three, came in second in one and was a DNF after a crash in one. So, that wasn't a bad season when a single entry was up against the Audi team.

    Is the Audi flywheel the Williams flywheel they were planing to use for KERS in F1?
