There are even some videos on youtube of the R18 with telemetry data (speed, rpm, gear, g-force, ...). We just need to volunteer to analyse it

Yes, it is nice if the numbers match up.

Now I understand the comment from Wurz that the hybrid system from Peugeot was less powerful than Toyota's. The Peugeot 908 HYbrid4 only had one rear-axle 60 kW electric generator/motor. With that configuration they can only recover 2 MJ during 1 lap!
