You cannot adjust the amount of pace laps before the start.
You really cannot get to racing temps on the pace lap either.
Just wait it out for a few laps. At 100% opposition, you will
usually do very well against the computer cars anyway. A
good example is Arizona. The computer cars just cannot keep
up at 100%. All you need is the FAST setup. But, passing *ALL
OF THOSE CARS* is not easy. So you have an advantage to a point.
I suggest patience. I'll doubt that you can blast thru the
field anyway.
I believe in Michigan, it appears that the computer opponants
have a real advantage at the start. Which they wouldn't have
if you had warm tires. Just don't panic when they pass you.
Use patience and re-pass them after you are up to racing temps.
