Default Tyre pressure monitoring systems on track

Does anyone use TPMS systems on there s2000 for track use? I have done a search on the forums but the only posts appear to be from daily drivers

So i have seen to types of system one which attaches inside the tyre on the drum of wheel and the other type replaces the valve cap.

i like the idea of the replacement cap as its transferable on to other sets of wheels i.e wets quite easily, my ownly concern is the extra weight on the valve could rip it off at speed or change the weighting of the rim.

any input welcome

cheers

Why? There are systems to measure tire temperatures on track.

Why? Well as the thread suggested its to keep an eye on pressure so as the the tyres get warmer through the day you can adjust pressure accordingly. Yes i am aware you can check quite easily between outings with a gauge which is what i do now, but i have seen these and since they are relativly cheap to purchase saves me the effort.
