Warming tyres is a critical part of getting up to speed efficiently on track.
Whether tyre warming for a track day, testing or racing, it’s important to know how to bring them into the optimum temperature range and how it feels.

Scott: The 2 largest Sanctioning Bodies for Club Racing here in the States (NASA and SCCA) prohibit warming tires by braking and accelerating. Weaving back and forth is limited to first 5 corners.

Thank you so much for these great videos. They provide so much information and are very hard to make. Thanks a lot for your hard work! It pays off!

Another Brilliant Video! 👏 Your videos help me understand the world of F1 way quicker than any other resource online. I'll make sure to share them all. Keep up the Great Work Sir 👌

Great video. Is it possible for you to create a video on how to preserve the life of the tyres for endurance races?

@Driver61 7 лет назад

Thanks very much! Yes, it's something that's on the list for future lessons. Sign up to our course to be updated.

@InfamousLDN 7 лет назад

Driver61 Will do. Keep up the great content.

Check tire temps in practice. Even temps longer tire,er, tyre life. Best of luck

@johnfilios8759 4 года назад

Very Helpful! Thanks for doing it.

@pilota86 3 года назад

Thank you for this, been doing this ALL wrong in my races!

@LeeL289 4 года назад

Hi, great video series. As a new driver, how would you recommend this process with a front wheel drive car? Obviously you still want rear grip for stability, but its a lot harder to get temp into the rear tyres apart from braking, using the handbrake etc. What would you recommend? Thanks.

@442jetmech 2 года назад

Used to scrub my tires with sharp, quick turns.... Way better results doing long loading like you suggested.

@TheDebenebis 7 лет назад

awesome video.thx a lot

@Driver61 7 лет назад

Thanks very much! If you found it useful please share! I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks, Scott.

Did you make the "how to get a good standing start" tutorial? Cheers

@thepreme123 4 года назад

how do you warmup the tyres on front wheel drive cars?

@cmpoirot1 7 лет назад

You mentioned the need to get heat in the brakes in order to heat the core of the tire. Would this be a good place to use some left foot braking while on throttle in order to exaggerate that effect?

@Mattiaslash25 6 лет назад

Inspector Poirot Same question i did.

@Mattiaslash25 6 лет назад

I have a question: why not keep accelerating while braking a little bit (just for a while) in order to increase brake temperature? Is it a bad idea? Good channel by the way. Keep up the pace !

@gozinta82 6 лет назад

I honestly don't know, but I'd say if it's light braking it'd probably work. I personally stay away from hard braking while warming the car and parts up just to avoid over heating the pads/rotor (they'll heat up quickly enough during the faster driving).

@rdcontracting1101 6 лет назад

I keep my left foot lightly on the brake as I accelerate to help generate heat, then brake hard, accelerate with left foot lightly on the brake, then brake hard, as well as combining this with weaving across the track to generate heat in the fronts. I must admit, I will change, as I weaved for the first portion of the track, then accelerated/braked for the last portion before lining up for our standing starts.

+TRG Motorsports I did the almost the same throughout my club racing "career" in small bore formula cars. In the states we run slick racing tires with several compounds to choose from and have rolling starts after one or more pace laps. Since everyone begins to form up after about the first seventy five percent of the pace lap, breaking hard on the final twenty five percent is frowned upon as being quite dangerous, at least by me, so I used to drag the brakes until close to the start in order to keep them warm and ready. Since the cars concentena at the first corner and cornering speeds are relatively slow into the first corner, the most important part in my experience is to get the brakes up to operating temperature. This also helps to keep heat in the tires. But yeah, cold tires and brakes at the first corner often results in a "bowling for racecars" moment. - Dave

Is it by driving them?

@guilhermegarciademenezes5160 Год назад

why does it oversteer more when you get on the track?

@martygt3357 5 лет назад

15:39 to describe the best way to warm tires?

@rodrigodepierola 7 лет назад

What about warming up in a damp or wet track?

@Driver61 7 лет назад

Be careful?! Seriously though, on a damp track there'll usually be a dry racing line. If you're on slicks stick to that. In the wet, you can use all of the track but just be careful when you cross over the dry line (where rubber is embedded in the track). Later tutorials will cover this.

@lolzlarkin3059 6 лет назад

What about those times where you aren't in a rear wheel drive car?

@gozinta82 6 лет назад

the same still applies, cold back tires will still spin the car in oversteer. it's the rear end going past the front car, regardless of it being front wheel or rear wheel or all wheel.

@ZpGKillua 6 лет назад

what about brake temperature?

@davidunruh9540 6 лет назад

Warm tires are more likely to pick up dirt and sand aren't they? Guess it must be important to never go where everyone else isn't likely to go isn't it?

@benvella1728 3 года назад

Quickly chucked off at speed through high rotational forces. Whatever gets stamped won't be stuck in for very long. It's not the first time a car runs wide and shovels gravel or has to take a less optimal line for racing reasons. before rejoining the typical dry line. Might require a touch of care for the next couple of corners but will likely be back to normal soon after.
