Treluyer: Toyota has hybrid rule edge

Audi's two-time Le Mans 24 Hours winner Benoit Treluyer believes that the equivalency formula between front-wheel and rear-wheel hybrid systems has given Toyota an advantage and that the rules should be changed. Toyota uses a super capacitor-based system on its V8 petrol-engined TS030 that sends regenerated power to the rear wheels, while Audi operates a flywheel in the e-tron quattro that powers the R18's front wheels and gives the car its boost only when it reaches speeds above 120 km/h (through regulation). Hybrids are only allowed to activate after specified braking zones on a given circuit
