Quote from Ped7g :- when brakes will have temperature (this one ruins the experience for me a lot, I'm used to big difference in brakes performance from public go-karts and to work with them during race to maintain them)

- when track will be covered with debris/wet (chunks of tires outside of race line, grass/sand from someone's trip out and back on road, dust at start of race session would be welcome by me too, coating of road by tire layer after many laps increasing grip, dynamic wet status with rainy weather which can make rain just at part of track + the race line drying faster than rest of road, and maybe even oil from engine failures (if someone's constantly over revving engine, the current loss of power is nice touch, but I think it can lead ultimately to a total failure) ... I hope I listed them all)

- dynamic weather (wind's there already, now only rain and day/night/clouds affecting track temperature (I mean per "pixel" of track, so the piece of road under bridge in shadow will be colder than the straight under sun couple of meters further))
Usually the difference is not so dramatic, but I did one race on go-karts in Oct'07 on slick tires starting on partly damp track under sun at cca. 5oC... in 10mins the sun went behind horizon and in the very next lap we were +3s slower (more than 10% of lap time), because the damp parts of road did start to freeze. It was more of a difference to handling between 2 laps than when it starts to rain during summer (at that point it takes at least 2-3 laps before it gets really wet and laps times grow a lot on slick tires)

- races with limited sets of tires (and whole practice/qualify/race sessions planned with weather predictions)

- when the clutch-pack differential can be overheated too just like clutch (this one is very minor to me, but the current status allows to trade a bit of power for fake traction control which I think it's sort of exploit)


... oh wait, I did post here, so I'm already in.

Still I hope the S3 will bring answers to all my points.

Good post.
