The reason you swerve or turn left to right aggressively is to clean your tires off. Under caution your tire will cool and pick up debris. To have a good restart you need as much of your tire in contact with the track.
I found this very interesting, I have a converted ambulance campervan (European style only 4 wheels, no doubles on the rear) It weighs 2980kg. I run my Continental Fourseasons2 tyres at near max pressure, 69PSI. Am I running the risk of being to "hard" and risking punctures? They are all season tyres so have soft blocks to the touch.

You need a safety margin, run it at 65 PSI
What gauges are they using to check the tire pressures?
Fahrenheit? Whats that
more practical version of Celsius

I thought it was about real racing... not nascar...
