Tyre pressures at Cadwell Park Full
The venue as mapped, to scale. Cadwell Park Full is one of 2 layouts sharing this tarmac, and its exact course differs from the full-circuit outline shown. Track outline © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL).
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 Cadwell Park Full 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.
| CORNER | RUNS HOTTER BY, °C |
|---|---|
| Left front | +3.0 |
| Right front | +2.0 |
| Left rear | +4.0 |
| Right rear | +3.0 |
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.
What Cadwell Park Full asks of a tyre
Cadwell Park is narrow, wildly undulating and utterly absorbing: the Mountain section lifts wheels, Charlies and the Gooseneck demand precision, and there is almost nowhere to rest. Loads cycle vertically as much as laterally. The tight, technical pace means tread temperature builds from work rate rather than outright speed.
The Mountain unloads then slams the rear pair; watch rear pressures
Narrow line choice concentrates wear; readings can vary run to run
Cool, tree-lined mornings make the temperature window hard to reach; be patient before judging
A 992 GT3 on Cup 2 R at Cadwell Park Full
Published hot target 30.5 / 32.0 psi at 92°C tread, on a 15°C morning, with the corner figures above: cold set 21.4 / 21.5 front, 22.5 / 22.6 rear. A different car, tyre or morning moves every number, which is what the calculator is for.
