The heat of the track and the power of KZ1 do not mix well with the tyre endurance. Problems were reported on the Bridgestones, with most drivers in this category in the WSK Euro Series in Zuera, even though the choice is clear. With wear and punctures, in KZ the tyre is subjected to very high stresses, which is far from a surprise in this category. Bridgestone told all competitors involved that the cold pressure should never be less than 530 g and that in this case, reliability, performance and durability were at the optimum.
The Japanese manufacturer has not stood idly by as a technician was dispatched to study the problem more closely and see what was going wrong in the heat. Remember that the air temperature exceeds 30 degrees and currently the track can go above 60 ° C which is extreme conditions given the constraints of these powerful machines. The job is not simple, as the various manufacturers who have tried can testify, so Bridgestone is at least trying to tackle it seriously.
