In this thesis, an automatic DRS (Drag Reduction System) was developed and prototypically implemented for a Formula Student race car. The system includes a mechanical transmission with a single servomotor, which drives two aerodynamic flaps through a gear mechanism. The control is based on the use of a microcontroller and input from various sensors, such as brake pressure and steering angle sensors, to determine the opening logic. The developed DRS is designed to operate fully automatically. Testing the developed DRS system in real conditions shows a significant improvement in lap times and points achieved in dynamic competition disciplines.
