You can deploy the motor whenever you have battery power (as many times as you like and you can stop deployment before the battery is empty). Our last version of the car had a specific time limit - once you”d used it, that was it.
This version of the car uses a rechargeable battery.
If the battery is full, you should be able to run 58:42, say (your personal driving style might decide the actual numbers).
You aren’t forced to regen the battery - if you adjust the in-car regen to level 1 (of 6), it won’t try to recharge and so your brake balance will be ‘normal’. If you use regen levels 2-6, you will recharge the battery and start to drag the rear wheels when doing so. It’s up to you to decide whether you can live with this or need to adjust brake balance forward until the battery is full enough to use effectively again.
To recap, this is part of the ‘earn it’ ethos. If you want to build up a charge to deploy in an overtake, you will have to manage the recharging system and the effect it has on braking. No pain, no gain!
Hope that helps.
Final note: the battery capacity and motor strength have been chosen so that there is no clear answer as to whether you should take the easier life of not bothering to recharge it - or put the effort (and risk) in but gain the punch every lap or two.
