Here's to hoping you're right.
Remember that it was Porsche in 2010 that introduced the 911 GT3R hybrid with the flywheel ERS. They may not have raced as long as Audi and Toyota, but they began this game before them.

Interesting that Audi has now chosen the flywheel system while Porsche has chosen to go the battery route. Maybe, they learned some things in their previous testing?
