Tire Pressure Warning

I was at the track yesterday when I lowered my tire pressures and I received an error and it won't let you engage Sport or Sport+ until the pressures are normal. Is there a workaround? Being at the track without Sport mode options sucks.

Have you tried to "reset" the tire pressure in the menu?

Your going to have to reset the pressure so that the car reads the pressure needed for track as the range of pressure to be in

I had TPM issues yesterday. My pressure was at 40 dropped them to 32. Error came on. Only comfort mode. Even after I reset the TPMS it only go to comfort and give me the flat tire warning. Just a stupid safety feature. Like comfort mode is going to keep me save if I have low pressure or a flat. I'm surprised no one has a workaround. Pitting and resetting would suck.

Can you still turn off t/c? T/c off defaults to comfort throttle anyway, so if you're really tracking the car you should be in comfort anyway.

TC goes to sport throttle, but not sport+. MDM goes to comfort.

Had this yesterday at Brands Hatch - however a reset and a drive around the car park cured it. I guess it depends how low you drop the pressures. I only dropped mine to 37 degrees C but the temps were sky high (we had a cracking day in the UK yesterday!) initially and the pressures had gone up to around 47.
