The TPMS will go off if it detects a drop in pressure passed a predefined threshold in one or more tires. For example, I run 32-35psi on the street but for autox I run 28psi. Without fail the TPMS would go off on first run because 28psi (albeit a safe street pressure) was too far off where it was used to monitoring. If you ran your autox pressure on the street, this wouldn't be an issue.
Everytime I crank up the car I get the warning message on the display. I just hit OK and everything runs as normal except of the 1 alert message (I get 2 b/c of my tire rack windshield banner blocking part of the front facing camera lol). At events, I pull up to my grid spot, put the car in sport+ and turn DSC off. I don't touch the electronics nor turn the car off until the heat is over (sometimes 2+hrs). When finished, I just air back up and head home. TPMS is just a warning and doesn't interfere if you have it removed, only if they trip while driving will it impact (jaringly as I've described) you.
My '18 LCI is 100% stock sans RE71s and had the TPMS's removed entirely. Kept them for reinstallation should I ever decide to part ways.
