I do wonder how safe the KERS type system will be in a BTCC car.
In F1 the systems are not subjected to the bash 'n' crash of touring car racing.
The F1 marshals have to wear insulating rubber gloves and have to look at the indication on the roll hoop to see if the system is safe. The F1 drivers can also jump clear of the car in the event of the problem with the system, a touring car driver won't be able to do that.
If the BTCC car hits the bare armco barrier and the system malfunctions then the whole length of the armco could become live.
I know KERS is relevant to car manufacturers but I believe introducing it to the BTCC is solving a problem that doesn't exist.
