02 DRIVER CRAFT & TELEMETRY LESSONS
Cold desert tire graining
Track surface temps can drop below 12°C, making tire warm-up and graining management crucial.
Braking after the 1.9km Strip blast
Front carbon brake discs cool down drastically on the straight before a 350 km/h to 80 km/h stop.
Drafting slipstream battles
The huge straight provides massive slipstream passes and counter-attacks lap after lap.
“Las Vegas pairs high-speed aerodynamic efficiency with chilly desert tire warm-up challenges.”
