Tyre warmers overheating between races
So I've recently started measuring tyre temperature on the warmers, and have found that my Capit warmers are heating my tyres to 100 degrees at times.
The model I use does not use a thermostat and should heat to 80 only, but supposedly leaving them on too long overheats the tyres. The problem is that between races can be a few hours. Surely the warmers should be able to keep the tyres at a steady 80 degrees?
And what about track days? I was out yesterday and found that between sessions they were heating up to or just above 100. I even put on my spare warmers and they did the same.
Am I missing something? Is there some technique that I'm not aware of that stops this? Is 100 actually ok? Any ideas?
