Why doesnt anybody delete the unwanted replies here? Looks strange...
Anyway, just wanted to ask about the tyre pressures. There's something there that I dont seem to get: why should I drive on track, increase my tyre pressures by 4 PSI, drive again, then increase it by 6 PSI??

Claudius,
My opinion is that you should have your tyre pressures around 6 psi above normal. Your tyre pressures will increase with weather, on one side depending on rotation of track etc.
So to start with, if you use 30 psi for road, try 34 psi for track. Do a couple of laps and see what the pressure is. If its at 34 still (you aint driving hard enough
) then adjust upwards to say 36. I found running my 205/50/16 fronts on 37 psi and rear 33 psi worked well for me, but its down to your choice really.

The reason i adopt this method is to stop the outside edge of the tyre being worn away. Far too many times have i seen people half way through a track day wondering where the 1st inch of their tyre has gone.........
