AusGT Allow Tyre Warmers

But read the justification...

“Also, there have been occurrences of tyre damage through low pressures and/or excessive camber set-up which is a problem in qualifying sessions.
“Tyre warming is permitted in many GT races in Europe and it has been found to extend tyre life and assist in reducing the occurrence of set-up related damage to the tyres.
Is this a solution?
