it warms up the tires..
tires are most effective when warm.. this is also the reason the drivers swerve back and forth when they are under a caution flag.. it keeps the tires warm...
the warmer a tire is, the better it sticks to the track, the better it sticks to the track, the faster they can take the turns..
