    Dear Francisco

    You must get 2,1 bars when the tyre is warm. To reach this preasure when the tyre is cold, you can begin with 1,5 bars. Run for 3 laps, and when the tyres are warm, stop and chek the tyre pressure to get 2,1 bars.

    probe pyrometer will tell you the correct pressure which is driver/tire/track condition specific.
