A motorsport tyre temperature sheet — session conditions, cold and hot pressures, inner, middle and outer temperatures on every corner, and the adjustment made.

The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
Turn tyre pressure guesses into a pattern you can read across a day, and see how the spread across the tread answers each change.
Track day drivers, sprint and hillclimb competitors and club racers with a gauge and a pyrometer, and the helper holding them.
2 pages, in this order:
Printed under the title: Cold and hot pressures and inner, middle and outer temperatures on every corner, session by session, with the adjustment made — the record that turns tyre guesses into a pattern.
Your supplier's targets, your gauge's numbers. Target pressures and the temperature spread you are looking for across a tread come from your tyre supplier and your own testing, and change with the car, the circuit and the weather. No figures are printed here. Note the gauge and pyrometer used, because two gauges rarely agree.

Because they come from your tyre supplier and your own testing, and they change with the car, the compound, the circuit and the weather. A figure printed here would be wrong for most cars. The sheet holds your readings; the targets are yours.
In the notes column against the corner — graining, blistering, edge wear — or on the Tyre and Brake Record if you track a set over its life.

Arrive with the car checked, the kit packed and the paperwork done, so the day is spent on track rather than in the paddock.
See wear as a trend, so you can plan replacement instead of being told at a test that it is already too late.
Stop looking up the same specifications every time. Fill it in once from the handbook and keep it with the vehicle.
