Can someone who knows explain what DRS is? 14:26 - Jul 4 with 953 viewsbluelagos

Understand there are zones, and if the car behind is within a certain distance / time of the car ahead he can activate DRS.

But what is it he is activating?

Cheers.

A flap on the rear wing, temporarily reducing the downforce so increasing the speed through the DRS zone (aka the straight)

Highlighting crass stupidity since sometime around 2010

Lagos is actually wondering if this can be adapted for a bike.

The image of a drag resistance system , otherwise known as flaps, on Lagos’s rear end is just not an image that I want in my head.

Approx an extra 8 mph.

Strictly speaking, the reduction in downforce (most of which isn't needed on the straight, anyway) is just a by-product. Because one of the main elements of the rear wing is no longer trying to work the air so hard, it causes less aerodynamic drag.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?
