[QUOTE="gunner93, post: 619058, member: 27810"] Tyre Management : 1) Avoid using less than 20% tread depth on track. 2) For air pressure difference, its about 5psi once you get the tyres up to temperature after 2 laps. Come in the pits to release/adjust the air pressure. Then go out again. 3) For Nitrogen its about 2 - 3 psi. My personal preference is to maintain 28 to 29 psi at optimum temperature. Its really up to your car set up/behaviour. 4) For those with deep pockets, use semi-slicks. It would mean up to 3 to 5 sec per lap difference. 5) To improve corner speed further, open up front camber as much as your car allows -2 deg or more. Open front toe slightly for better turn in respond. 6) Camber at the rear should be opened up slight too -1.5 deg and slight toe-in for stability especially existing out of corners. 7) High temp front brake pads are a must for threshold braking. Eg, Ferodo DS2500 or better still DS3000. [/QUOTE]
