| Boost level: | 160 kPa (up from 150 kPa) +200 RPM; 150 seconds total, 10 bursts available (No activation delay in 2013) |
| Tires available per entry: | From Firestone: The dry-condition (slick) tire specifications for Sonoma are the same as those used in the April 2013 race at Barber Motorsports Park. Wet-condition (grooved) spec is the same that debuted June 2012. Primary: Each entry receives three sets for the Wednesday open test and five sets* for the race weekend; one set may be carried over from the open test to the race weekend (*-each entry must complete at least five laps during the first race-weekend practice session to earn the fifth set of primary tires from its weekend allotment). Alternate: The alternates pair the same tire construction as the primary with a softer tread compound to provide more grip and faster lap times, while trading off some compound durability. Each entry receives three sets for the race weekend; none will be supplied during the open test. Wets: Each entry has two sets for the open test and five sets for race weekend. |
