Wow, that pretty much makes BRZ a much better choice for track use. Tire pressures are as critical as oil temps for track duty.

In the paddock? Yes.
On track? Not so much, unless you're losing pressure due to a puncture. I mean, people have been tracking gen1 cars with no such display. Furthermore, many gen2 owners don't even put TPMS sensors in their track set of wheels. Besides, what are you going to do if your tire pressure is 38 and you want 35? Doing a cooldown lap won't help. I tried. If you really need real time tire pressures, you might as well make the font larger And btw that trick was also available on gen1 cars with Android Auto head unit (whether OEM or aftermarket).

I do have 2 sets of track wheels and additional front wheels; they all have TPMS. I highly recommend that you get them, too : ) I eventually settled with Autel's programmable sensors as well, so I don't even need to switch tire set using the button by the glove box anymore. Tire pressures can:
Anyway, I'd say I'd downright be worried if I don't know the tire pressures on a fast car (like a Z06). It's less critical for these cars, but still very valuable in my opinion. YMMV EDIT: Ohhh I just realized you have GR86 and that's why you were arguing if it's really necessary; now I got it, sorry.

Basically all new cars have the "cold coolant temp" light these days. From years of experience, I'm pretty sure all it means is that the heater will blow warm once it's off.
