Tire Wear... In RENTAL KARTING!?
I made a mistake...
In one of my first races of the day at the Kart Race of Champions, I drove every lap like a quali lap. This was great for the first half of the race when I was attacked P2, but then I was met with TONS of UNDERSTEER for the second half of the race.
The solution? Well in the next race, I dialed back my driving slightly in the first half of the race but minimizing front tire over-slipping (ESPECIALLY in high speed corners where the most energy is expended out of the tires).
This allowed me to control the surface temperature of the tire in way that kept it in its optimal operating temperature window for longer.
By the way, this is known as "thermal degradation" rather than "rubber degradation" (that's what I call it at least). The difference being that the thermal degradation is temporary and can be fixed with driving habits, whereas rubber deg keeps getting worse at the rubber of the tire literally flies off!
