wlaidlaw Posted June 22, 2023 Share #20073 Posted June 22, 2023 My brother was driving on the Mille Miglia in the mid 1990's in a 1932 Alfa Romeo 8C2600 Monza when he was passed by Stirling Moss driving the Mercedes 300SLR. He estimated that the speed of the SLR was in excess of 150 MPH. Italian police have a very active blind eye when it comes to motorsport. I did a speed hill climb in Italy in the late 1990's in a Lola Mugen Honda B92/50 F3000 single seater. The paddock/parc fermé was some 8km from the start of the hill climb and the marshalling controlled by walkie talkies was super efficient. When it was a few minutes before your start time, they warn you to start up and would then wave you out of the paddock onto public roads, which had a policeman every 50 metres of so. They were all encouraging you to go faster. This was a great system as for once, the car arrived at the start with hot tyres and transmission, which makes the first few corners a lot less scary than with dead cold slicks, which are like driving on ice. Tyre warmers are not permitted on speed hill climbs and I have great sympathy with F1 drivers' antipathy to the proposal to ban tyre warmers from next year. I did a hill climb in the UK in my F2 Ralt on a freezing cold day in April at Gurston Down and after one practice run just put the car back in the trailer, as I decided the risk of car damage at best or injury from driving on slick tyres at around 5º C was too great. I was not alone. I could have changed to my wet wheels and tyres but at low temperatures on a dry track, they will quickly wear away the sharp edges of the tread pattern, which wrecks them for future use in the wet. It is a vicious circle, if the tyres are generating no grip, they don't generate any heat to raise their temperature. F1 cars have smart mechanisms which transfer the heat from the brakes to the wheels and then to the tyres but again no grip and you can't generate much heat in the brakes to transfer to the tyres.

Good cars. Tough as old boots. My much abused 204 Saloon saw me through college and early work days until an AlfaSud totalled the rear end.

Wilson Ferrari lost a car during the 6 hours of Spa, after Fuoco left the pit with cold tyres...luckily no injuries for the driver. It's so dangerous that I don't understand the logic... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
