I'm sure your right Kev...when the instructor got back to the pits I'm sure they did nothing but rip the pis$ out of him for the rest of the day...you can hear them now...cold tyres my arse!

Would it have happened if he had used warmers....dunno...maybe...maybe not. Surely any margin for error on the opening laps would be greater?

Again (back to the initial point) that this has nothing to do with going mental for the first few laps, but ALL to do with confindence. I'm not saying for one minute that having a set of warm tyres from the off means you can go at breakneck speed for the opening lap...infact almost the opposite, in that having one less thing to worry about means I can concentrate (as you say Desmondo) on lines/braking etc.
