| To right Desmondo, most practice sessions and trackdays and even in races when I'm on the back of the grid I tend not to use my tyre warmers unless I'm using slicks. Stops me doing stupid moves on the first lap, I always try and treat the first lap out as a siteing lap, which if its a race it actually is. Alllows you to look for spillages etc before coming across them at race pace. Doesn't take much to warm up grooved tyres, at Mallory in december it takes me about 1 1/2 laps on D207GPs, so about 1.5 miles, Cadwell in the summer should be 1/2 a lap at most. |
