Wanted tyre warmers

[Motoracer]

Kickaha mentioned before that the tire warmers prevent heat cycles between races, which is really important. On the winter series, no matter what you do in the first race in the morning, it won’t warm up till your last few laps of the race (I am talking about a 6-lap race) unless you got warmers.

They also prevent cold tearing damage to the tyre which is equally important.

I've been doing a bit of reading on this as well seeing as the CBR will see a bit of track time - and thanks for the advice Kick.

If you read most of the tyre warmer websites - they say typically three laps to hit optimum temp - thereby 50% of the race!

Reading the web - one factor to heating your tyres is also the type of tyre you are using. The more race oriented the tyre - the quicker it is likely to get to optimum temp - but also the quicker it is likely to lose temp. Ie, whether you are using pure race v road tyres. Looking on the web - two things work best to heat tyres - warmers and laps.

I too have read and been told that weaving is next to useless at getting tyres to temp as at the of the day - you actually have to slow down to weave - therefore you actually REDUCE that amount of heat the tyres get - food for thought.

I suppose this is something I will need to look into next year - fuck, more money - but hey, you can't take it with you.
