Abstract	Drag Reduction Systems (DRS), initially pioneered in Formula 1, allow dynamic aerodynamic adjustments to reduce drag and increase speed. This study explores DRS integration into Electric Vehicles (EVs), road-legal racecars, and high-speed motorcycles. Using NASA FoilSim simulations, we analyze airfoil behaviors under varying camber and angle-of-attack conditions. Results indicate opportunities for improved energy efficiency, enhanced track performance, and increased stability across platforms. Real-world design proposals and simulation data validate the adaptability and effectiveness of DRS in modern transportation.
