Keep the TPMS screen up and you’ll see grip fall of as the tires crest 38psi and temps climb north of 140* but as ZM2 mentioned I’d leave the pyrometer at home for now.

Thank you. What tire temp should I be aiming for during hot lap, and if it exceeds that, should I just exit to the pit lane to cool off and also release some psi?
Edit: I just did some more searching and it sounds like I can get about 3-4 hot laps on ~2mile track before tires get greasy. Can I do a cooldown lap any time I want during hot laps without getting any authorization? I'll be in beginner group...
