F1 | DRS zone for the Japanese Grand Prix revealed
Activated on the main straight of the Suzuka track
di Roberto Valenti3 October 2017
The International Federation has made official the points where it will be possible to exploit the DRS system in the Japanese Grand Prix, the sixteenth round of the 2015 Formula One World Championship. The device can be used in only one point on the track and the area will be positioned on the main straight of the Suzuka track.
The FIA has also decided to activate a detection cell which will be positioned after the 130R curve. We remind you that in the free practices on Friday the areas of use will be the same as those in the race, obviously without the rule of one second of separation from the car in front. The same goes for qualifications.
