Fortunately for car racing enthusiasts, temporary street circuits offer the much needed break and training. Temporary street circuit car racing is quite different when compared to the permanent road car racing. In the former less grip is required. The reason is that street circuit organizers need to lay their own rubber each year since the rubber of one year will definitely not hold till the next year considering the amount of cars racing on it as well as the time factor.

For this purpose, the cars racing on the temporary street circuit has a slightly different build. For instance, for day one of the circuit softer tires would be helpful. It would be better if you could tie up with the tire developer and have a made-to-order tire from the best compound that can run well considering the different aspects of the track such as rougher surface, higher curbing, wet conditions as the tire needs of individual track change quite considerably. Another characteristic of the temporary street circuit car racing is these are narrower when compared to regular racing tracks. That is the reason drivers face a challenging situation when passing or lapping slower vehicles and have to get into the follow-the-leader attitude.
