Your opinion on 'Drag Reduction System'

[ioan]

Crap.

[tintop]

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.

We'll see in Malaysia which has much longer straights.

Are there any tracks where DRS wont be used? Monaco springs to mind as an immediate example of a track where DRS might not be used due to its tight and twisty nature but at the same time it is a race that could benefit from a bit more overtaking. 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.

[SGWilko]

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.

Thinks... I'm going to the Supermarket and buying an Aero bar.
