have fun at your track day.

I usually run around 3 ~ 5 PSI BELOW stock, but again the shoe polish trick should help you getting the pressure right.

My tip for first day track driving:
TAKE IT EASY!!!!! Focus on your line and don't try to set a new lap record, btw. all seats at McLaren-Mercedes, Ferrari and Sauber-BMW are already taken, so don't try to impress anyone.

Be smooth with your right foot, the gas pedal is not just on/off but be gradient also be smooth when steering.
But again the most important thing is to focus on a good line first before you try to focus on speed

Enjoy
