HOW TO MANAGE TRACK DAYS TYRE PRESSURE?

1

Start of track day or after a long break 
Always begin with the car manufacturer recommended pressures

2

Prepare your tyre
2 laps with a gentle flow, then take the next 3 laps «pushing» a little more.
As the tyre warms, the air inside expands leading to increased pressure in the tyre

Adjust pressure of hot tyre
Dry track: come back to inflation pressures recommended by the car manufacturer

Wet track: no change of pressure (could be higher than car manufacturer recommendation)

4

After a few laps
Small adjustments are possible, depending on various aspects and car balance.
If there is more than one hour between 2 runs, start again from step 1

Check the tyres wear aspect, tread depths 

(at least 1.6mm) and ensure there is no damage

made for track usage to their road-biased setting

Switch on any electronic car safety
