2020 GRIP Seminars - Tires - #3

"Tires.... are what wins a race. If we can't figure out a way to run so you don't melt the tires, we're never gonna win a race." The famous line from Days of Thunder has some truth to it - the four pieces of rubber which connect a car to the track are the most important parts of the racecar. But besides being black, round, and filled with air, how do teams take full advantage of the information tire manufacturers give to them? What tips and tricks help racers to learn what their tires are telling them? All of that is covered and more in this module. * Available with individual module pass or Day 1 Multi-Pass.
