Interesting that the race prep S2000 has 24 psi on rear tire, is that a typo?

^weird. maybe they were trying to cure some mean oversteering? I'd assume 42PSI is too high so I doubt a dyslexic typo, maybe they meant 34...hmm

pressure increase as temp increase, it's running a race tire and i bet it's super rigid.

I run 28 psi on the rears to get ~38-40 pressure hot at the track, which for most tires is fairly conservatively high. I'm on stock suspension and 245/45-16 rears. With wider tires, lighter weight, and better setup suspension, 24psi cold is probably perfectly appropriate.

Their lap time seems a little conservative.

I'm pretty sure that car has been put on a srs diet. That and I'm sure the entire body being CF helps too...

That data shows a Toyota Yaris pulling 1.05 G's! That's better than the Porsche 911 and Nissan Skyline's. Wow.
