Future Tech Session: thermal imaging on ur tires as u drive

Forget running back to paddock to check tire temps. That will only tell what happened on the last turns.
Check out how fast tire temps change on every turn!

Flir is currently testing this system. You may see it on F1 cars.
We plan to have it as a Tech Session in the near future.

I saw a system like this years ago that used 3 temp heads near the tire. Steve Dente had it on his 911/993 that he shared with Jim Sparks. Great info.
