How hard a circuit works each corner of the car shows up as tread temperature, and temperature is what sets pressure. GripCalc carries corner heating figures for Anglesey Coastal as a starting point: how much hotter each tyre runs over the session's base temperature, from the layout's mix of corners and load. They pre-fill the calculator when you pick the circuit, and your own pyrometer readings refine them from the first session.

CORNERRUNS HOTTER BY, °C
Left front+2.0
Right front+1.5
Left rear+3.0
Right rear+2.5

ESTIMATED — class-based starting values over an 85°C session base, derived from this layout's type (direction, speed profile, load), and shared with circuits of similar character rather than measured here. Not gospel: enter your own pyrometer figures after a session and they take precedence.

OSM — the sections mappers have named on this venue's tarmac: Corkscrew · School Corner · Club Hairpin · Church · Target · Banking · School · Rocket In · Rocket Out · Peel · Hairpin · Bus Stop

Lengths are measured from the OpenStreetMap geometry drawn above, on the loop verified against this layout’s published lap length; the longest straight is derived from the same line and is approximate. Section names are the venue's, and can belong to any of its layouts.

FROM THE TYRE'S SEAT

What Anglesey Coastal asks of a tyre

Anglesey's coastal setting is the story: sea breeze and Welsh weather keep ambient and track temperatures modest even in summer, and the spectacular seaside section rewards rhythm. The GP layout adds the technical lower loops. Reaching the tyre's window is often the day's challenge rather than exceeding it.

W1 Watch

Cool coastal air: pressures set for a mainland forecast read low here

W2 Watch

The corkscrew and hairpin sections work fronts through steering angle

W3 Watch

Wind direction changes the car's balance corner to corner; trust the probe, not the feel

WORKED EXAMPLE · COMPUTED BY THE ENGINE

A 992 GT3 on Cup 2 R at Anglesey Coastal

Published hot target 30.5 / 32.0 psi at 92°C tread, on a 15°C morning, with the corner figures above: cold set 21.5 / 21.5 front, 22.6 / 22.6 rear. A different car, tyre or morning moves every number, which is what the calculator is for.
