“…This topic seems to be neglected by authors, and it is difficult to find something related in literature. A lot of studies can be found on tire energy as far as fuel efficiency is concerned [4][5][6][7] as well as noise reduction/evaluation [8,9] and rolling resistance evaluation in general, but this is not the aim of this study. The only articles dealing with tire performance and wear by means of tire energy evaluation are [10,11], but one of them uses a more complicated method compared to the proposed one, and both do not refer to racing/motorsports applications.…”

Understanding the amount of energy a tire is subjected to is one of the key elements to perform in motorsport competitions, especially in Formula 1 feeder categories, where the number of tires is limited over the race weekend to contain costs. This forces teams to use worn tires towards the end of the event. Therefore, tires are usually chosen only relying on their external shape or based on the kilometers traveled. Moreover, being aware of how a setup change impacts tires can be a breakthrough in tire management, especially in tracks where tire wear is limiting the overall performance. This paper provides a scientific method aimed at helping race engineers in tire management to maintain a high performance level through the entire race weekend.
