F1 2012 - KERS

KERS or Kinetic Energy Recovery System is the F1 2012 equivalent of boost found in other racing games.

When used, it adds an additional eighty brake horse power to the rear wheels thus giving the player increased acceleration and speed. KERS can be used in short bursts or completely in one go.

Whichever way you decide to use it, KERS can only be used for seven seconds in a single lap and it recharges every time the player crosses the start/finish line.

KERS is best used when you accelerating from zero, thus allowing you to reach faster speeds and top gears quicker.
