SECTION_C ~ COLOPHON

Why this exists

2026 is a reset year. New power units, movable wings, a different kind of boost button — enough that even long-time fans are re-reading the rulebook. If you're arriving now, it's a weirdly good time to start: the returning audience is learning too.

We built this path for the person who watches one race, gets curious, then hits a wall of acronyms and unspoken context. Read it in order and you'll finish knowing what an MGU-K does, why DRS is gone, and how a 2026 car actually turns a fast lap.

No quizzes. No gatekeeping. If a lesson doesn't click, the glossary is there — hop back out whenever.
