this really amuses me.
it was none of these things really, the "idiotic" responses had absolutely nothing to do with the original post, and i'm not going to explain why, its beneath me - just take a verbal reasoning class or something.
there were however some proper responses from a few people in this thread, who actually understood the question i posed and tried to give some thoughtful input: Wass85 and Shrieker for example.
really i was interested in the technicalities of how to improve DRS and was not intended to be some argument about whether DRS is good or not (though I explain why it, or something like it, is needed - in the original post).
i wanted to explore how best it could be implemented, either radar or GPS or some other type of system, and what was viable.
maybe i should have emphasised that aspect in the original post.
for a forum that seems so particular about ensuring posts are kept on point, like in the hardware section, i was just surprised at the inane initial responses.
on a side note, i am a huge fan of the indestructable tyre v10 roaring era and the battles between giants, for me F1 died when pirelli degrading tyres became the epicentre of the sport - but if you seriously cannot see why some type of DRS/push to pass system is needed, then you really are looking at that era with rose tinted spectacles.
and again, this has nothing to do with quantity of overtakes either, purely the ability to actually overtake another car, which i made clear in the original post.
Hence my suggestion to some of you of verbal reasoning classes.
peace.
