minus-squarewes@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 months agoIs this flex or a button? The name active makes it sound like a button the drivers can press?
minus-squareohulancutash@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 months agoDRS is being replaced by two systems: Push-to-pass hybrid boost X-Mode, where drivers can open front and rear flaps to boost straight line speed.
minus-squarewes@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 months agoX-Mode, where drivers can open front and rear flaps to boost straight line speed. Isn’t this just a double DRS then?
minus-squareJacob93@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 months agoMostly, but everyone will be able to use it so the car being chased will also have the new DRS. I don’t think they’ve announced if there will be track sections where it’s allowed / not allowed.
minus-squareJacob93@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 months agoYeah I think so. The push to pass system is the DRS replacement whereas the active aero is now just a part of the cars.
