while i'm thinking about it, it would be nice to have the tire temp graphic/data from the previous laps displayed in the pit screens to aid in camber/pressure assessment

F9?

Or do you want a whole graph showing the temperature over the time?

Have you EVER looked at the LfS Manual???

I think he means to see what temp the tires were at when pitting (adjusting set), much like ISI games.

/Me wouldn't mind that.

agreed

Agreed too. IRL, temps are taken at the pits with IR probes, which isn't as good as Real Time monitoring already provided by th F9 feature, but is done real often even by professional race tire engineers.

Functionaly, F9 is good enough for alignment and tire pressure setup, but a pit temp displa would be nice too.

Well this isn't always the case. I don't know if they can take temps to each section of the tire but they can and do take temps while on the track of the whole tire.

I think Shepperd is asking for chart viewable in the pits of tire temp data on a lap per lap or corner by corner basis, could extend this to other things aswell, just depends on what people want to capture.

Actually takingf the temps of sections of the tire is quite easy. Just point your pyrometer at the desired part of the tyre

Club racers use infra-red pyrometers, but they are pretty worthless, as they only show the surface temperature of the tyre, which won't be an accurate assessment of the core temperature once you've ambled back to the pits. It's far far better to use an intrusive device, that actually penetrates the surface of the tyre slightly.

It's like reading spark plugs - it's only useful if you measure/read it immediately after hard driving - idling and coasting gently will carbon up your plugs/cool your tyres, and make the readings pretty much useless.

agreed, I think some of the teams in the Speed World GT challenge use a different type of thermometer, but the ideas the same.

Go out and punish a set of tires, take temps, adjust, repeat till tires are nice and happy

I'm all for it. Provide all data of F9-F12 in the pits plaese.
