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 are the same as used at five street courses this season – St. Petersburg, Long Beach, Detroit, Toronto and Baltimore. The wet-condition (grooved) spec is the same that debuted in 2012. One set = four tires.Primary (black-sidewall): Each entry receives nine sets* for the race weekend (*-each entry must complete at least five laps during the first practice session to earn the ninth set of primary tires from its weekend allotment); rookie drivers and those outside the top 10 in points receive a 10th set that must be returned following the first practice session. Alternate (red-sidewall): The alternates pair the same tire construction as the primary spec 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. Wet-condition (rain): Each entry has five sets available for the race weekend. |
