terryobeirne should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
temperatures and pressures

this sounds like an exercise in silliness. does the sun ever come out in some places??

your chosen tyre supplier will suggest optimum operational temps and possibly pressures. you need to experiment to get that.

most of us build up a database for each car and driver and quickly work out what cold starting pressures will get us to where we want to be within a few laps. you always have to consider track temperatures which of course are a function of the season. we race from Zero to 40C ambient temp and track temps can get well above 40 and very occasionally into the 70's

not many race categories permit tyre warmers , but of course, putting them in the sun will have some effect, albeit small.
