I still suspect that I am screwing up with tire pressure. Since I had no idea what to do on a wet track, I set the pressure at 2.1 bar (30.5 psi), after driving there and waiting 20 mins before going on track.

So that leads to some noob questions.
- When is the tire considered cold? Would it still be cold after normal driving to the track? 20 mins later?
- Probably the tire pressure should be even lower on a wet track than I would set it in dry?
I think you are worrying too much with tire pressures. I was also playing for some time with pressures and then got frustrated. All these little details ruin the fun factor and the driving pleasure of the car. Just relax, get used with a reasonable pressure (personally I use the manufacturer's recommendation) and focus on the driving technique. This is also the reason I am not tempted to buy coilovers. It would give me more parameters to worry. In anyway, you cannot break any track record with this car. So, what's the point?
