R35 Build

several things about temperature measurements:

-temperature probes are superior to infrared as surface temperatures may not be representative, especially excessive cooling on the surface relative to the deeper rubber and outer side of the tyre

-outside should be around 5-8 C lower than inside temperatures

obviously noticing excessive wear patterns etc are also a good indicator of correct camber setup for your track and suspension setup.

Yeah Mark agree with you there.

Sorry i meant that all tyres were consistent with each other and yep different temps from outside, middle to inside.

Im running 35-36 hot in the slicks and it actually takes quite a bit of time to get it right.

Im finding that you have to do 3 laps come back in and drop the pressures, then do another 3-4 laps and check them again, possibly let more air out.

Usually after this you can then leave them and they cool down and heat back up to about 35 without having to come in and check them every time.

We need to run our cars back to back!

would love to runa few laps with you guys. I am a beginner for sure so very interested to here everyones setup experiences.

I was running slightly lower psi, around 31 on tuesday, previously about 35 with the second hand tyres. will aim for around 33 next time I reckon. still managed a pb with the new tyres but will be looking closely at suspension tuning for next round.

also interested to hear what temps everyone is reaching on their slicks. I get big variations on inside/ouside of car on our clockwise tracks up here. might end up running a psi or more on the inner tyres to help get the temps up.

spotted a nice feature on your car over on speedhunters, clicky

great photos!
