    Help!!!!/first Track Day

    Guys..heading to my first Track Day tomorrow and need some advice on what tyres pressures you would recommend for the day.I am going out on the standard P-Zero's.

    As well the track day consists of 4 x 5 lap circuits of the track and was wondering should I expect brake fade after a couple of laps on the standard pads.

    I certainly won't be pushing at 10/10ths or setting any lap records but I won't be out for a Sunday drive.

    Any advice on the above or any anything else to know would be much appreciated.

    I drove my car straight out of the garage bone stock and right onto the track. I was told to raise the tire pressure 5lbs and thats it. Car did great on the stock tires and brakes. Also, checking with the Audi Sportscar Experience in Sonoma, CA, they run P-Zeros on all thier school cars and standard brakes. Tires do wear fast, I probably will get one or two more track days before needing replacement.
