Trackday pressures

[spanishfly]

Just a quick question about tyre pressures on track. I'm interested to hear peoples findings on what they run T.P. wise on there clios on track. Mainly 195/50R15 but others useful too.
Something in this format would be nice:

Car: ph1 172
Tyre: A048R, M compound, 195/50R15
T.P.: F. 25 R27

Cheers in advance.

Not sure about the M compound... We ran 1.8R and 1.6F on the caterham... on 14's. I don't think you're a million miles away with what you've got there...Do 5 laps, come in and balance them.

Yeah was just hoping for some previos data on the clio. I used to run the nova at F24 R 26.

we run 28psi all round on our race car now. we run 195/50 R15 Dunlop Direzza's

Those are hot pressures. We were running 30front 28 rear but have been taking tyres temperatures and ended up with 28 all round

Car is a Phase 1 172 running 200bhp and around 850kgs

Cheers Burp, that's just what I needed/ I had them dunlops but only in 195/55 as I didn't think they made 195/50?
