Hot Racing

I want to know some info about races that were run in conditions of veri high temperatures.

I know one: in Argentina ´55, the ambient temperature was about 38 C°, in the track 65 C° :O. Fangio won this race with only 1 pit-stop for refresh him, many drivers DNF because they can´t support the conditions..

If you know some like that, please post it

Cheers!

1984 US Grand Prix was the one where Mansell passed out at the end while trying to push his car across the line.

Wikipedia says the start race temperature for that race was 40 C equalling the 1955 Argentine GP and the 2005 Bahrain Grand Prix.

Hasn't the Malaysian Grand Prix been incredibly hot before? or is that more to do with humidity

Melbourne this year was ridiculously hot... it was 38-39C...

It was so hot.. I was there, I know!

Malaysia is usually very hot, and humid!

And it have been said million times, that our famous drama queen was just acting. Personally I dunno what is true..

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

The old USGP in Detroit was known for blistering heat. Same for the '84? race they ran in Dallas Texas that Rosberg famously won with the track coming to pieces...
