Tyre pressures at Cadwell Park Woodland

The venue as mapped, to scale. Cadwell Park Woodland is one of 2 layouts sharing this tarmac, and its exact course differs from the 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 Woodland 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+2.5
Right front+2.0
Left rear+3.5
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.

THE CIRCUIT

LocationEast Lindsey, Lincolnshire, United KingdomOSM

OSM — the sections mappers have named on this venue's tarmac: Club Hairpin · Barn · Charlies · Chris Curve · Coppice · Hall Bends · Mansfield · Park Straight · Park · The Gooseneck · The Hairpin · The Mountain

Lengths are measured from the OpenStreetMap geometry drawn above; 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 Cadwell Park Woodland asks of a tyre

The Woodland layout shortcuts Cadwell's park section and keeps the club circuit's tight, technical heart. Even more than the full circuit it is about work rate: constant steering, braking and gradient with little straight-line rest, on a lap that comes around quickly.

W1 Watch

Front tyres do relentless steering work; expect them warmer than the layout's speed suggests

W2 Watch

Short lap magnifies pressure errors quickly

W3 Watch

Kerbs are close and unforgiving on the narrow line

WORKED EXAMPLE · COMPUTED BY THE ENGINE

A 992 GT3 on Cup 2 R at Cadwell Park Woodland

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.
