Just thought I'd put this up for reference....not even sure if F1 2011 actually matches these or not.....haven't checked, but here are the official DRS zones for all the tracks that have been raced at so far this season. Monza, Montreal and India has/will have 2 zones, but there's only one zone per track in game. The circuits to come will also be posted at this link when they are released by the FIA.

DRS Zones for 2011

Codemasters guessed where the zones would be for tracks not run before release. In Singapore, they got it wrong, which I thought was pretty stupid. Do they even follow F1? Doubt it.

"Rumor"....probably more like wishful thinking....on a couple of forums says they will correct them in the next patch. I'm not going to hold my breath.

Ahmad, where's it at in Singapore in game? Haven't got there yet, was just wondering.

Seems to me they took a simple idea and made it as complex as they possibly could.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the FIA only confirm the Singapore DRS detection/activation zone about 5 days before the actual race took place meaning it may have been impossible for Codemasters to know as the game was released just before the race weekend.

Many people thought there were going to be 2 DRS zones after the changes they made last minute for the previous race at Monza.

That's pretty much the standard at all the races....4-5 days maximum before the actual race is when the DRS zone(s) is/are confirmed. They confirmed the zones for India on the 25th, race is on the 30th. Korea...confirmed 10/12, race 10/16. Suzuka...confirmed 10/6, race 10/9.

Hopefully, after the season's over they're correct the ones that are wrong in a patch...not holding my breath, though. I read on their forum a while back in a post from one of the CM staffers that they didn't expect to be able to do 2 zones per track, like some of the tracks had though. They were looking into a way of doing it, but hadn't been able to get it to work right so far supposedly.

We'll see what happens.

if ((time(car1) - time(car2)) <= 1000) { enable(drs); }
