Anyone else concerned about the low temps? If it's below freezing, Im not sure if my RS3s are going to be adequate.

I would imagine they'll warm up, it'll just take longer. There's a very high likely hood especially in the mornings it will be pretty cold. I suspect most street tires would be ok though, it's the guys wanting to run r comps that will have the biggest problem probably.

It takes two laps.

I drove Full on R-S3s in November 2013 when it was 35F out, and everything was up to temp within a lap and half. You have to manage the track being colder than what you're used to with your tire pressures, but it's fine.

As long as you're not showing up on Hoosiers, or other tires that can crack when frozen, you'll be fine.

Picture from Feb 2013 headed to our Danville AutoX - snowy


Picture from April 2015 at our HPDE - frosty


Keeping myself warm was a bigger concern than tires.
