The idea is that in track conditions, the breaking is enough to allow you to always have some charge as long as you conserve it. Due to lack of better comparison, the system honestly works most like the rechargeable sort of boost in arcade racing games.

That capability to have instant power on hand must make it hard to pass others when racing.

You basically have to wait for a poor line or some other mistake in order to pass since power management is less of an issue.

Now the tires will have to get grippier to keep up with the added torque.

Someone will be making biologically inspired Gecko grip tires before long. A product like that will make you a billionaire pretty quick.
