The amount of posts in the forums about nerfing DRS or keeping it is insane. But I might have thought of a solution. Why don't we make it, like the two tire rule and refuelling, optional for league hosts to turn on and off? Some people want DRS, some don't. But with this, people can choose for themselves. Thoughts?

Nobody wants it removed, we just don't want it to dictate the race winner or be as strong as it is. It heavily influcences the race and we use it as part of our strategy which we shouldn't.

Exactly. Many people don't like it because it impacts the race too much. With this added, it'll make it possible for managers to choose for themselves.

If you ever had a wet race you know that not having DRS is infinitely worse.
I feel that the game just needs a tweak in the overtaking system more than anything else.

I personally disagree. A wet race disables DRS, and as a result gives more exciting races, in my opinion.

I also agree with Ghost Rider and have pointed out before we have had every possible option of dirty air (strong/weak/none) and people still moaned.  It would be the same with DRS/weak DRS (we already have that in Belgium)/No DRS. We would still have the same issues and the same people would win as they are better at the 80% of the game which is done away from the track.  It is the physics of overtaking that need changing, it won’t make much difference to the result, but would stop things like cars running out of fuel holding up others.

What's exciting about the pole guy always winning? I don't mind it because it rewards good development but saying it's exciting is false.

I agree with your point - before the devs get rid of DRS (which has been rejected even as a league rule) the overtaking model needs lots of patching

Yeah spot on, dirty air and clean air should be increased.

i still think i just need to decrease the strength of the drs. this would make everyone use different strategies and also make the use of the kers more strategic, as it would be necessary to overtake a car that is slower but the driver cannot get close enough. in addition, this would make the strategy of stopping 1 lap before or after more important and efficient.

I'm not saying there won't be trains anymore, I'm saying it will be the opposite. instead of the train helping to gain lap time, the teams will strategize sometimes even thinking about avoiding the train as it will not be so easy to overtake and that would make it more realistic.
