Possible Club Track Day? (Vic)

[Scott W]

Recently I've learned that the use of tyre warmers on track days reduce the amount of wear on the tyres and help them last longer. This is because the process of heating a tyre up and letting it cool down actually breaks down the compound of the tyre and thereby makes it more prone to wear. So if you can reduce the amount of times that a tyre is heated up and then cooled down on the track throughout its life, you can lengthen the life of the tyre.

But then I suppose you have to trade that off against the cost of the pit garage and the tyre warmers themselves and the extra hassle of mucking around with them...which in turn has to be traded off against the bonus of not having to do a couple of warm up laps...dah, dah, dah.

I don't own any tyre warmers.
