F1 26 DLC
Don't include that straight-line speed reduction in the DLC. Just change the teams and drivers and remove DRS. That speed reduction is awful.

Since f1 26 is only a DLC and not a stand-alone game, I imagine we will have to wait until 27 for them to fully recreate the new regulations since they're stuck working with the framework of F1 25. That said, I do think they'll change some things to try and emulate the new cars.
- Reducing the weight of the cars should be easy since there would already be internal values for it due the R&D upgrades in career mode.
- Allow the existing DRS system to be used anywhere to mimic active aero.
- Make the ERS system more aggressive in terms of depletion and harvesting rate to mimic the battery deployment in the real cars.
I doubt there will be an option to toggle the regulations off entirely, but I imagine there will be optional assists to help manage things.
Thanks for your thoughtful post as I've been puzzled how these omnishambles regulations might be implemented. These new regulations make me glad that I choose to challenge myself by turning off the racing line instead of doing things like turning off the ERS assist. I really don't envy the developers right now.
