法拉利承認發展動能回收系統遭遇困難

(這篇只翻個大概...還請善心人士補充)

Ferrari is “struggling” with the development of its Kinetic Recovery System
[KERS] and anticipates difficulties in making it fully reliable for the start
of 2009, its engine chief Gilles Simon has admitted.

法拉利正試圖突破發展KERS系統所遭遇的困境。他們的引擎主任工程師Gilles Simon
預期明年上場的KERS可能會有可靠性方面的問題。

The energy-saving device, which stores energy otherwise lost during braking
and converts it into power, is allowed to be used in Formula 1 cars from next
year – but teams have conceded it is proving to be a testing development
challenge, while some have experienced high-profile teething problems.

Simon has now revealed that the world champion squad is also having its own
difficulties and predicts the teams that do decide to run it from the off in
their cars next years are unlikely to have found a fully-reliable solution.

"The Kinetic Energy Recovery System is a complex subject, which finds us
dealing with a lot of new and complicated areas, while ensuring that we still
devote all necessary efforts into continuing our usual development programme
on the current year car,” he said.

"It will be really challenging to run this system next year.

“We are learning every day, but we are struggling and I think that all teams
will struggle to run the new system reliably right from the opening race of
the 2009 season.”

Simon說KERS是一套非常複雜的系統，發展過程中必須解決一些以前沒碰過的複雜問題，
而且車隊還得在開發新系統跟改良現役賽車之間分配資源。在KERS的研發上，他們每天
都在學習。目前正在掙扎中，可能會一路掙扎到明年開賽...

He added that gaining a better understanding of the standard Electronic
Control Units [ECU] used from this year would also be needed to take full
advantage of next year’s major regulation changes.

“Next year, with KERS as well as the other rule change allowing the use of
an electronic front flap adjuster (on the front wing) electronics will play a
very big role and the common ECU will have to be fully understood in order to
operate these new elements successfully," he said.

Simon說，為了在明年的新規則下獲得最佳表現，必須更深入了解ECU。KERS的導入，
以及允許在前翼上使用電動式front flap adjuster，將會對明年的比賽帶來重大影
響。為了能讓這些新原件順利運作，他們必須要徹底了解ECU。

然後他說了一些對本周Monza大賽的展望....(引擎部分)

Looking ahead to this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix at the team’s home Monza
circuit, Simon is confident its V8 engines will be in good shape to withstand
the strain put on them by the track’s high-speed straights after a
successful test there last month.

“Monza is the hardest circuit on engines and Spa is not far behind it, so
this means the engines used here will have endured the highest stress levels
of any throughout the season," he said.

"From the engine side, we pushed very hard to test reliability and the
results were successful, as we completed two race distances.

"And also in terms of car performance we made good progress at a circuit
where, in 2007, we were not that strong.”
