Tyre pressures at Mugello
The lap, to scale. Track outline © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL).
How hard a circuit works each corner of the car shows up as tread temperature, and temperature is what sets pressure. GripCalc carries corner heating figures for Mugello as a starting point: how much hotter each tyre runs over the session's base temperature, from the layout's mix of corners and load. They pre-fill the calculator when you pick the circuit, and your own pyrometer readings refine them from the first session.
| CORNER | RUNS HOTTER BY, °C |
|---|---|
| Left front | +2.0 |
| Right front | +1.5 |
| Left rear | +3.0 |
| Right rear | +2.5 |
ESTIMATED — class-based starting values over an 85°C session base, derived from this layout's type (direction, speed profile, load), and shared with circuits of similar character rather than measured here. Not gospel: enter your own pyrometer figures after a session and they take precedence.

OSM — the sections mappers have named on this venue's tarmac: Mugellino · Bypass · Curva dell'Arrabbiata 1 · Curva Palagio · Curva Scarperia · Curva dell'Arrabbiata 2 · Curva Savelli · Curva Casanova · Curva Borgo San Lorenzo · Curva Materassi · Curva Poggio Secco · Curva Luco · Curva San Donato · Curva Bucine · Curva Biondetti · Curva Correntaio
Lengths are measured from the OpenStreetMap geometry drawn above; the longest straight is derived from the same line and is approximate. Section names are the venue's, and can belong to any of its layouts.
What Mugello asks of a tyre
Mugello is Tuscany's fast, flowing masterpiece: long uphill and downhill sweeps like the Arrabbiata pair that hold serious lateral load for seconds, on a smooth, grippy surface. Sustained energy through the shoulders defines the tyre's day, and the fast lap keeps everything firmly in the window.
The Arrabbiatas load the left side in sustained sequence; probe outer zones
High average speed keeps temperatures up; expect strong pressure rise
The long main straight cools the fronts before the fast San Donato stop

Published hot target 30.5 / 32.0 psi at 92°C tread, on a 15°C morning, with the corner figures above: cold set 21.5 / 21.5 front, 22.6 / 22.6 rear. A different car, tyre or morning moves every number, which is what the calculator is for.
