Track day this Monday !

[Mr Pid]

All set for my first day at Silverstone in the gtr.

Looking for recommendations for:

Tyre pressures - set to 16 and 21 psi for the road - but what for the track ?
Intrax shocks - set to 6 clicks for the road - but what for the track ?

Thanks

I would increase the fronts to about 19psi but they may need to be adjusted as they heat up on track.

The shocks I would wind up to 9 or 10 clicks (make them stiffer) for Silverstone which is quite a smooth track.

Take some spanners, etc. too as things may need tightening up.

Start slowly and build speed and do a slow down lap on the way back in to give it chance to cool.


Most important of all. Enjoy the day.

I have the factory gold double adjustables which may be different to yours.

I found a very noticeable difference in handling running less clicks at the front vs the rear.

On road I run now at 4 clicks front, 6 clicks rear, on track I up both by 3 (7 front, 9 rear). Previously I ran 7 all round on the road and 10 all round on the track. Lots of understeer.

I am not a fast track driver, but still noticed the difference.
