Have Pirelli announced the tyre selection yet? They'll probably select the three hardest compounds 'just to be on the safe side', that's what they normally do at new tracks they don't have data for.

Youre right khablam, the tires work better when theyre cold, thats why they try to keep them as cold as possible when theyre on track and why most of the races are held in winter

Under track radiant heating. They've got Richard Trethewey out there installing it right now.

Charcoal briquettes inside the tyres

It's great that nobody involved in operating the Pinnacle Of Motorsport checked out what Las Vegas at midnight in November was like.

It's an interesting question as to how they'll maintain temp on track and I'm really hoping it is a serious problem so we see some weird solutions

Both you, and this thread, have one final chance to understand this.

When the track temperature is 30c the pirelli tyres will overheat after one quali-pace lap. Temperatures are kept down by losing pace.
When the track temperature is 29c the pirelli tyres will overheat after one quali-pace lap. Temperatures are kept down by losing slightly less pace.
When the track temperature is 28c the pirelli tyres will overheat after one quali-pace lap. Temperatures are kept down by losing slightly less pace.
When the track temperature is 27c the pirelli tyres will overheat after one quali-pace lap. Temperatures are kept down by losing slightly less pace.
When the track temperature is 26c the pirelli tyres will overheat after one quali-pace lap. Temperatures are kept down by losing slightly less pace.
When the track temperature is 25c the pirelli tyres will overheat after one quali-pace lap. Temperatures are kept down by losing slightly less pace.
When the track temperature is 24c the pirelli tyres will overheat after one quali-pace lap. Temperatures are kept down by losing slightly less pace.
When the track temperature is 23c the pirelli tyres will overheat after one quali-pace lap. Temperatures are kept down by losing slightly less pace.
When the track temperature is 22c the pirelli tyres will overheat after one quali-pace lap. Temperatures are kept down by losing slightly less pace.
When the track temperature is 21c the pirelli tyres will overheat after one quali-pace lap. Temperatures are kept down by losing slightly less pace.
When the track temperature is 20c the pirelli tyres will overheat after one quali-pace lap. Temperatures are kept down by losing slightly less pace.
When the track temperature is 19c the pirelli tyres will overheat after one quali-pace lap. Temperatures are kept down by losing slightly less pace.
When the track temperature is 18c the pirelli tyres will overheat after one quali-pace lap. Temperatures are kept down by losing slightly less pace.
When the track temperature is 17c the pirelli tyres will overheat after one quali-pace lap. Temperatures are kept down by losing slightly less pace.
In this sequence, you always go faster as the temperatures fall as you can do more work with the tyres.

Now this is what you believe is next.

When the track temperature is 16c the pirelli tyres will turn to stone. Anarchy will reign. No one will be able to get into an active temp window and run more than 5 laps. Can't believe no one thought of this. I'm so smart tho i went on weather.com then just lolled at idea the cars could work!!

listen folks, khablam has been in the sim crunching the numbers and you're all gonna look dumb as hell come rawe ceek

Not that it's apples to apples but anytime I've taken my kart out in similar temperatures the challenge has been getting everything up to temperature, once it was there it was fine. I don't think it's going to be an issue aside from the drivers complaining how loving cold it is.

Just looked up the track for the 1982 Las Vegas GP and lmao:

e: reading further, it was just some concrete barriers on a parking lot so also completely flat.
