I am going to run my 914/6 in my first autocross this saturday. Everyone in racing seems obsessed with tire pressures. I have no idea where I should set them or if they should be set hot or cold.
Can anyone please explain the pressure obsession to me so that I can be equally neurotic. Thanks! |

p.s - use lap times as a refence not the way it feels. lower pressures will feel slow on turn in, but will have better traction.
this comes for 20 years crewing for stock cars, sprint cars and [sssshhhhh] street racing. |
