Tyres stints
Watching the laps being put in and it is dificult to gauge how the tyres are holding up. The Audi never did a single stint on tyres last year. IIRC they double stinted the tyres even when the drivers did longer stints. McNish is on a stint now and RLM are trying to gauge if the lap times are holding up - it is hard to tell because of traffic.
RLM also hypothesised that a loss of a couple of seconds per lap is about the level where it is better to change tyres than push on on old tyres. How will the tyres hold out? Audi traditionally has been easy on the tyres. Is the new R15. How will the Pugs and the petrol cars do? What have we learnt from the previous races? Are there any suprises on this topic in other classes? |
