Id guess the FIA can't actively control anything. The camera feeds are all beamed to FOM, the DRS activation light on screen, like the eligibility is worked out via telemetry and are adhered to in order to avoid penalties. I'm sure the systems behind them are controlled by the teams and are merely monitored though?
The idea of the governing body having active control over the cars sounds dodgy.
Well, nice jokes, but does somebody know what is actually possible to control remotely?
Earlier the teams could and did adjust just about everything via radio. Now they are not allowed to.
They can only monitor.
But the FIA is remotely controlling at least some things that are coupled to the cars electrical system, as we can see.
Might be nice to know what all?
I think you're full of it, but I'll bite anyway...
There is no radio control in the sense you make it.
With DRS, the way it works is the cars pass next to a timing device similar to what is at the start/finish line. If the system is enabled, then this will send an 'OK' signal to the car if it's within a 1 second interval of the previous car.
This signal goes to the control ECU and that basically determines if the driver is able to activate the DRS or not.
All I know is that DRS zones are the only thing that externally influence a component in the car, maybe radio as well. Everything else is limited by ECU, and I think there's a rule that forbids uploading data to the car in the race... I just think.

Up to the early 2000s, the Losi brand was laser-focused on competitive R/C cars. One of the most iconic is the 8IGHT platform, which set the bar for the 1/8-scale racing industry. In 2010, the company kept its promise to its core consumer and created the TLR (Team Losi Racing) brand, which, to this day, is solely dedicated to R/C racing vehicles. In turn, Losi adopts the technology and materials from the TLR brand, puts an extra focus on drawing inspiration from full-scale racing, and brings it to your fingertips. Losi is where innovation and scale realism converge.
Every Losi product draws upon on a specific type of racing or performance-automotive activity.

The track is shared with the motocross track, which helps Jett Mutschler, who is the president of both the Dakota Motocross and Dakota RC club. Mutschler said he has been the club president for Dakota Motocross for 10 or 11 years and the club president of Dakota RC for the last five years.
He said the electric RC car races last for 10 minutes and the nitro races last for 15 minutes. He said 100 points are on the line for every race and how many points a racer gets is based on the his or her finish.
Jett said 75 people participated in the most recent race he went to and there are an average of 50 people who participate. He said he is not the only one who races both RC cars and motocross and there is a group that does both.
Jett said the cost to start racing remote-controlled cars ranges depending on how much people want to spend. Jett said the prices of cars range from $200 to over $1,000. Jett said the prices can increase with parts on the cars. He said the parts of the car in the front get broken most often.
