Good point. I was thinking regular street class regenerative braking might be an issue in sports. It'd be interesting to see if F1 is doing anything to compensate harder braking on rear axle.
After all, front brakes do need more power. Otherwise rear wheels are easy to lock out. ABS would kick in reducing regenerative braking. I guess they'd need much stronger front brakes and have regenerative braking kick in progressively with how the brake pedal is applied?
Of course, they could do 4-wheel regenerative braking even with one driving axle.. But that'd be another can of worms.
I'd love to read full paper [0]. Looks like they're looking into this exact problem.

- dogma1138 9y agoThe street class is the problem for the Tesla and not just for the regenerative breaks but even the normal ones. I would say that racing in a Tesla is like racing in a Ford F-150 hauling a working jet engine in the back with the breaks and suspension of a Ford Mondeo.
