My first experience with Michelin Track Connect
Did first laps, using Track Connect app and Cup 2 Connect tires.
Pretty helpful tool to keep the tire parameters under control on a race track More about my experience here: https://www.expressivedrives.com/blo...-track-connect

I just ordered all this for my car. When selecting tires in the app, did you use "Pilot Sport Cup 2" or "Pilot Sport Cup 2 R"?
Neither is really "Pilot Sport Cut 2 Connect (240)", the tire I ordered. Since this tire is specifically designed for the track connect app, I'm surprised they don't have it more definitively laid out. (I went for the non R option above) I'm pretty absurdly excited for these. I'm a huge fan of Michelin in general, and this should make setting pressures and not over driving the car pretty idiot proof. Plus, with my head unit running android, I'm just going to install the track connect app on that-- which should be a pretty clean integration. It has wireless carplay on it in this picture, but gives the idea:

Also, you can use the app with tires that don't have the sensors but you have to do the work yourself.

That is a little bit weird, because there's non-240TW PSC2s with track connect. Who knows, probably just a programming / configuration oversight.

I don't understand -- what is the data telling you? What is it measuring?
We use pyrometer across the tire (which really also is for alignment) and tweak pressure to change handling. How does the app know if you need to move air around to cause one end of the car to rotate better? |

This lets you get the tires in their optimal pressure range, and lets you know if you're over or under driving them (live temps). ... pyrometer still useful for setting camber.

What pressure does Michelin recommend for those tires on the M3 e92?

That is a good question. I'm 2 weeks out from my first event with these. What pressures did you end up with (as a ballpark starting point for me).

For those new to the game. Here's some basic information on the subject. See all attached .pdf files. The hot pressure game is not quite the same for street tires as it is for racing tires when used on Circuit tracks, Rovals (combo of banking and circuit) or Ovals. However, the concepts are the same i.e. optimizing for a hot pressure ceiling and uniform tire temperature profile across the face of the tires (as measured with a Pyrometer).

But, I believe that Track Connect recommended pressures are track, temperature and weather related, not one for all.

Installed the track connect stuff. First use in 1.5 weeks.
Sensors installed: A perk of having the Qi charger center section: Is that there's sufficient space under it to install the telemetry unit: And, app running on the Avin (not paired up yet):
