Hey, ask the flag marshalls... this *is* how I drive (and make the flag
marshalls nervous). Oh yeah, also ask the guys who I pass on the inside
of on those hairpin corners. They also get nervous as I hang my 'arse'
out right beside them - I love that sound of squealing rubber but they
tend to suggest that it distracts them :-)
32/35 front/rear - it works for me (but watch it on a hot track... that
35psi rear can suddenly end up 40psi before you know it... and then
watch your grip go out the window - and your car go grass-cutting).
