[TPR] C8 Z51 at NORC

[Bjoern Flesland]

Hi Dennis,
What does it say in your owners manual and on the car tire sticker
regarding tire pressure?
The cold pressure increases approx 4 psi when measured hot, immediately at
finish line.
I’ve seen a difference between 3 and 5 psi.
It probably also depends on your speed, IMO.
Cheers Bjoern 🏁
