«It was a bit of a disjointed session with the red flag stoppage in the middle of it, but it helped me as I managed to get
my tyres up to temperature at just the right time and bang my lap in before the red flag came out.
Not exact matches
The reduced downforce also has the knock - on effect of
tyres taking longer
to come
up to operating
temperature (there are no
tyre warmers in IndyCar) as well as making them wear out quicker because the drivers are sliding around more.
Track conditions were tricky and the
tyres required a couple of laps
to get
up to temperature before drivers could comfortably push.
«You can get your
tyres back
up to temperature and there is no risk from behind.
Tyres are heated
up to 1080 °C in a high -
temperature kiln, which breaks them down into two fuels, gas and oil, as well as «char», a substance rich in high - quality carbon, and steel.
Rear - end purchase is also quite spectacular once the
tyres are brought
up to temperature, enabling it
to generate tremendous traction under load.
We resist the urge
to push the car hard at the start of the race in order
to build
up the
tyre temperatures and thus grip.
Everything has an air of TV style presentation with pre-race build
up that provides an overview of the track layout accompanied by a full grid line -
up which carries through
to the gameplay with data overlays of the gaps between two drivers; fastest lap; track and
tyre temperatures; formation lap, alongside post-race coverage for the latest championship standings presented exactly as you would expect
to see it when watching professional television coverage.

«For example, it takes a while for the
tyres to come
up to temperature, it takes a while for the brakes
to come
up to temperature.
You'll need
to think about which
tyres you're running for the given conditions, too, and on Pro settings you'll have
to warm them
up to performance
temperature before attempting
to push the car's limits.
If you pump
up a
tyre and then drive on it (steering, braking, going over bumps etc), the side wall flexes slightly only slightly increasing the pressure as the
tyre goes in and out of shape and this small movement is sufficient
to maintain the
temperature as long as the car is being driven (you see this in motorsport).
