Compare Cal Speedway Grip Versus Last Year

This is only for Sunday where the track was mostly dry, but cold. How was last year's track grip compared to that? I'm curious how much time there was left to gain given a warmer, completely dry track.

I think there was at least 1 second worth of grip that we didn't have this year compared to last year.

Great precise estimate, Greg. Thanks.

That infield is always pretty slick, but I agree with Greg, it seemed even worse this past weekend. Even on Sunday last year when it was overcast, the track temps were still pretty warm; this year it was frigid.

Yep, even our not too precise tire temp measurements confirmed that.
