Dunlop developed the GP Racer D212 to work at specific temperatures and pressures, guaranteeing consistent behavior from the first to the last lap. The Medium (M) compound is renowned in the paddock for its very slow performance drop, allowing you to ride more sessions without sacrificing grip.
| Phase | Details and Suggestions |
|---|---|
| Tire Warmers | Highly recommended. Set them to about 80°C for at least 45-60 minutes before hitting the track to safely exploit maximum grip right from the first corner. |
| Track Pressures (Hot)* | Front: 2.3 / 2.4 bar (measured straight off the tire warmer) Rear: 1.3 / 1.5 bar (utilizing the NTEC system) |
| End of session | Immediately put the tire warmers back on to avoid aggressive thermal shocks (heat cycles) that prematurely age the compound. |
*Pressure note: The indicated pressures are general suggestions for track use. We always recommend checking official Dunlop recommendations based on asphalt temperatures and your suspension setting.
