I see it as a small flap that opens up and it speeds up the cars by a large margin. How does something so small like a flap provide that much of a boost?

Put your hand out your car window while driving on the highway with your palm facing forward. The resistance you feel is drag, and at 60mph/100kmh it’s pretty significant. Now turn your palm flat to the ground, and feel how much easier it is to hold your hand there. Now imaging the same thing with 10x the surface area designed to *maximize* drag (more or less) while closed and minimize drag when open, triple your speed, which makes it 8x more dramatic, and that’s DRS.
