Do you think the overall Car weight restrictions are detrimental to innovation in areas like this? For example, you said that the flywheel’s potential power to weight ratio could be better than a battery. But if a team can’t capitalize on that benefit by having a lighter car than the others, is there really any benefit to using such a device?

I do think the cars are definitely too heavy BUT even with a high minimum weight regulation, if you save weight in your components (like the flywheel) it means you can make up the weight with strategically places ballast.

So teams will put very dense material very low down in the car where it's more performative
