    I was being hypothetical about the apllication of the DRS on high-downforce corners, that would be ridiculous…but in the context of the thread I meant that I doubt drivers would want it when they might not expect it.

    Have the FIA designated where it will be activated on each track yet?

    Except that that’s not going to be a problem because the designated ARW zone will be somewhere the drivers will a) find useful and b) expect. The FIA has designated the final 600 metres of the main straight of each circuit as the ARW zone.

    I believe you only just found out about the ruling or you wouldn’t have mentioned turn 8.

    I knew that the application could only be within 1 second but not that the areas had been designated. Thanks for the info PM. That 600m will no doubt impact on a corner somewhere…like the final couple of corners at Istanbul Park! ;)
