hmm....
So a driver can use his DRS, make the overtake into the chicane, and then use DRS to pull away from the driver he's just passed?
That doesn't seem fair.

Is it that Forza, or is the first zone too short to allow much into the chicane, unless the driver in front had a 'mare out of the hairpin? So you close up on the back straight, and make the move into turn 1? Or is that too hard to engineer?
Finally, yes!
BBC Sport's Andrew Benson in Montreal: "In the light of Mark Webber's Kers problems - the latest in a long line for Red Bull this season - an interesting fact has emerged about Red Bull's system this weekend. Its power output is only two-thirds of the possible maximum - 40kw rather than 60kw - as a result of the smaller batteries required because of technical guru Adrian Newey's refusal to compromise the car for it. Newey admitted when I spoke to him on Friday that this was 'sub-optimal'. But what the team lose in pace from the Kers they gain from not compromising other performance areas, such as aerodynamics. That does mean they could be vulnerable on the straights, although team boss Christian Horner did point out that Sebastian Vettel had successfully defended his lead at the last two races."
I thought you could only use DRS when you were behind a car.So it can't be used to pull away.No?
No. Once it's been detected that you're within a second of the car ahead you can use it whatever the circumstances in the activation zone.
Yeah genji,but if there's nothing ahead of you can you use it to pull away from a car you have just overtaken?
Whatever the circumstances. If you're within a second when you hit the detection zone then you're allowed to use DRS in the activation zone(s) whether you're ahead of the car in front, ahead of two cars in front, behind the car that was behind you - whatever.
