During the recent training sessions, athletes completed a set of four laps each. The procedures differed from qualifying runs, as vehicles were released onto the track individually. This method allowed the focus to remain intensely on single-lap speed, precise vehicle balance, and the refinement of optimal setup parameters.
The initial session faced challenging environmental conditions. When R. Baciuška was part of the second group, the rain had ceased, but the track surface remained damp.
However, as subsequent racers arrived, the conditions began to shift. Over the course of the session, the track gradually dried, leading to observable improvements in grip levels for the competitors. The focus throughout the day was on consistency across multiple laps and adapting to changing grip levels.
Teams utilized the extended time available during the training window to test various settings under evolving conditions, ensuring that the drivers were prepared for varied surface moisture and changing track characteristics. The gradual drying process provided valuable data for engineering teams to fine-tune performance metrics before the main competition.
