Crap.
I think that the concept is brilliant - a technology that only favors the overtaking car. A partial antidote to primary source of passing difficulty ...advanced aerodynamics. I think that that gaping drag reduction will have a greater impact in some of the upcoming drag strips as others have pointed out. I wonder how DRS implementation affects the whole drafting dynamic?
I liked it. Made it easier to pass without making it completely unchallenging. Until they come up with a more fundamental solution for reducing the wake from the aero, it'll do.
Agreed. The fear that it would make it impossible to defend has proved unfounded.Quote:

DRS doesn't seem like th solution to all problems if you ask me.
Even if it was used at Monaco it would be of limited effect I think.
A bit too artificial for my liking. Also, the 'overtaking zone'. What's all that about? This meant to be F1 - 'The Pinnacle of Motorsport'. It's okay for BTCC, Nascar, etc
Sorry, while we have to give it time- it's all contrived, and another dumbing down of the sport for the casual viewer.
I'll still follow the sport, but find ALMS/LMS far more interesting from a whole lot of reasons.
A bit sh!t.
I actually thought it worked must better than I had suspected it would. It may have made a couple more passes happen, but didn't make them easy or artificial by any means. If used properly on other circuits it could in fact make the races more interesting.
There. I said it. The FIA might have done something that works.
Remove the Aero. :DQuote:
