Thank you, that is very useful. Nürburgring GP is pretty difficult (for me) because it has a lot of camber and elevation changes and the track is so wide, that it's difficult to find the right line. Zolder in comparison is narrow and flat and, dare I say, easy in comparison.

In many turns, I turn in too early too so there is definitely lot to improve.

I don't think you'll need to adjust pressures a lot and you'll focus afterwards more on driving
@nikitopo , I think it's as complicated as one want's to make it. At Zolder I just set a desired pressure, like 2.1 bar. Then drove 3 rounds and went into the pit. Now one tire may have 2.3 another 2.2 etc. Then I would lower them back to 2.1 so they were all the same again and go back out.

On Nürburgring GP, I guess I'm heating up the left front significantly more than the other tires, so it would need a lower cold pressure.

I also tried to take temperatures, but with a laser thermometer it was too inaccurate to be useful. A tyre pyrometer is on my wish list though.

And once I am in the car, I guarantee I don't think about the temperature or pressure.

@Futaba , no adapters are necessary for the 86/BRZ.
