DRS stands for Drag Reduction System. It is a driver-controlled aerodynamic device used primarily in Formula 1 and other motorsports to reduce aerodynamic drag and increase top speed, thereby aiding overtaking during races. The system works by opening a flap in the car's rear wing, which reduces drag and allows the car to accelerate more easily when within one second of a competitor ahead in designated DRS zones on the track. Introduced in Formula 1 in 2011, DRS has been a significant factor in making races more competitive and exciting, although it has also faced criticism for potentially diminishing the skill involved in overtaking maneuvers
. Beyond motorsport, "DRS" can refer to various other terms depending on the context, including Decision Review System in cricket, Defensive Runs Saved in baseball, and others, but in the context of racing, it specifically means Drag Reduction System
