No warmers needed for Q3+. I usually just ride them around pits for 5-min before gridding. Then one fast warm-up lap and they're ready.
In used Alpha-13sp my first season with Oxford warmers, but stopped 1/2-way through. Way AFM was running their races with multiple waves and lots of waiting around, any heat from warmers was long gone anyway. Next season I used Alpha-14, then Q3 and Q3+. These don't need warmers really, being DOT-R tyres.
I'm going to try R11 next, it'll be my transition to slicks. A lot of people report they warm up quickly and don't need warmers either. It's ironic that warmers are more useful for track-days where you can get on track right after taking them off. Whereas for races they're not as helpful due to all the waiting around.
