In a road car regenerative braking somwhere around 20-40 kW is enough in a race car you need at least 200 kW, not to mention the stress on the battery.
If you wan't cheap hybrid then just make a spec part, just like formula E in the first season, this was a cheap enough solution for that series, why wouldn't it work for a hybrid race car.
