car. The lance requires connection to a bottled air supply, and the pressure should be regulated to 250-

Suspension Guide – Dry Setup
The car is set up at the factory but, the final settings should be arrived at by testing for the particular
driver’s preference and the particular circuit. Try to check the tyre temperatures for balance across
the contact patch within one minute of a fast lap. The inside edge can be 10°-15° higher than the
outer edge on radial ply slick tyres (measured 1-2mm inside the tread ply, NOT on the surface).
