## Resource

IndyCar’s street course alternates, once a headache last season, are back with a twist—this year they’re lasting longer but warming up slower, creating a confusing puzzle for drivers. In Detroit, the new tires heated up quickly but peaked earlier, offering less of a speed advantage over primaries than expected. Pato O’Ward even went slower on them, hinting at pressure sensitivity, while others like Lundgaard and Rahal struggled to find rhythm. With mandatory tire usage and chaotic practice sessions, teams are flying blind into qualifying—wondering if these tires will hold up race-long or just burn out faster than anticipated.
