GP2 represents DRS

The GP2 racing series of formulas will present the DRS (drag reduction system), which is mounted on the rear wing, in the 2015 season. This is a moving part that allows faster overtaking on some parts of the track, and was first introduced in Formula 1, in the 2011 season. The first tests will begin in October in Europe, on a production car, and later in the Middle East. The reason for this addition lies in Formula 1, as Formula 1 competes with drivers who previously drove in GP2, so the leaders want to prepare them for a race car that has all these added features that the GP2 race car has not had so far. “We’ve always said that we can see amazing racing in GP2 even without a DRS system, or any other device, but if we want to follow our mission of preparing drivers for Formula 1, we need to add the systems they use in Formula 1,” he said. Bruno Michel, Head of GP2. “Formula 1 is constantly evolving, making it impossible for GP2 race cars to stay the same over time. With this in mind, we are of the opinion that the DRS system is the best technical acquisition for the introductory presentation of additional systems. The teams also showed interest in this at the meeting, and agree that this will make the GP2 more attractive to drivers, but only if the system is identical to the one they use in Formula 1. ” He also says that this sky is a button that will make driving faster or easier. Even the goal of helping teams remains, and the arrival of the DRS system, they say, will not affect teams.
