The new 992 cup car was completely different that its predecessor, even a new tire was introduced for the 992. Gathering information during tests to have the optimal preparation for

Last season we monitored tire surface temperatures by Alsense Tire Wired IR multipoint sensors. Quite quickly we realize that monitoring tire temperatures only on pitlane with IR-pistol or pyrometer is sort of late because tire temperatures heat up quite rapidly when loaded but similarly temperatures cool down quickly on straights. Tire temperature data analysis provided

Tire temperatures are a key aspect of vehicle performance, as the tire is the only contact point be-tween the vehicle and the track surface. They are key to fast lap times and predictable car handling. The amount of grip or adhesion a tire provides is directly influenced by its temperature and keeping this parameter it
