Cold 29psi, no lower than 28psi when tires warm up should read between 32-33psi. Check your tire pressure after each and every session. Constantly check your tire pressure, as the day gets warmer. Reverse as ambient temperature drops. When you are headed back home, make sure to refill your tires. To save on gas.

Start with 30 cold, and check IMMEDIATELY when you come off track. DO not do a cooldown lap your first session.

Adjust tires to 38; they'll likely be over. See how the car feels next session, and bleed front if you're understeering, and the back if you're oversteering. Adjust in 1 psi increments, always hot.

Don't forget to fill up before you go home

Ok, now THAT was a friggin blast! Had to manage brake fade on only a few occassions throughout the day, but this saloon represented pretty damn well I must say. And I got a real thrill for 4 hot laps in a 458 Italia. Ummm, can you say F1 car with a body. That thing was a monster!

MOb forgot to mention this but with the fade, replace your brake fluid with motul racing fluid and upgrade your pads, should take car of it.
