From a motorcyclist's track day experience most organizers strongly restrict weaving. More crashes than heat gain is one and probably the primary reason. They say acceleration and braking will gain more heat than weaving.
BUT........we see most the big boys on TV weaving, especially F1. IMO - Any time you can create friction and carcass flex you're building heat. The key is doing safely.
At track days on the bikes I take it easy the first half lap and gradually ramp up the pace the next 1.5 laps, then it's as hard as I feel capable of pushing that session or day given the ambient and track temps. I run sticky DOT's and don't use warmers.
I can't remember the race but there was an F1 celebrity that lost it in the warm-up lap building heat in the tyres and took himself out of the race not too many years ago.
