First MINI trackday

And I was wondering what tire pressures would you recommend?

And any other hints, suggestions would be appreciated.

Assuming you are running on your F1's, Set them at 35-36psi in the morning and bleed them off to 40 after they warm up. Keep checking them throughout the day. If you feel like you are understeering, take some pressure out of the fronts (2 or 3psi at a time). And, like autocrossing, you can mark the sidewall with some chalk to see how much the tires are rolling over.

Personally, I wouldnt worry to much about the pressures though... Make sure they don't go to high, and just go out their and have some fun!
