The FIA has changed the course plan for the first Miami Grand Prix, making one of the DRS zones longer.
The FIA has modified the distance of one of the DRS (Drag Reduction System) zones at the Miami International Autodrome before the first Miami Grand Prix.
The new facility, which is centred on the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, features 19 turns and three long flat-out portions of racetrack, all with DRS zones.
The second DRS zone, which extends from Turn 8, through Turns 9 and 10, and into the braking zone before Turn 11, will provide a perfect chance for racers in one second of the car ahead to overtake.
And the DRS zone has been extended, giving racers even more time to pass at high speed with decreased drag.
What modifications have been introduced to the DRS?
The DRS activation point for the track’s second DRS zone was originally located 67 metres after the apex of Turn 8.
A second edition of the circuit map issued by the FIA demonstrates that the activation point has been relocated to just 30 metres after the corner’s apex, which will lengthen the DRS zone by 37 metres.
The FIA has also decided to relocate all three DRS detection spots between seven and three metres from their previous locations.
However, because those points are located after Turns 8, 16, and 17, rather than before, it is improbable that racers will compete for them.
Sectors 2 and 3 have also had their starting lines relocated between 29 and 12 metres from their original locations, somewhat altering their split times as a consequence.
