Default Tracking the A6

I'm signed up for an open track day at High Plains Raceway with the Audi Club.

For those of you that have tracked your A6 do you have any thoughts on it?

Specifically, recommended tire pressures (19" Michelin Pilot Sport 2's) and how well can I expect the stock brake pads to hold up?

Having tracked my A6 with stock front brakes I can tell you that you will probably experience fade after a few laps each session. This, of course, is a function number of high speed braking zones for the track and how fast you are going when entering the braking zones. If you have the time you might want to give EBC yellowstuff a try in place of the stock pads. As far as tire pressure goes it all depends on track conditions and weather but you might want to start with 34PSI all around and see how much the pressure increases after each session. I would recommend trying to keep the hot pressure reading below 42PSI.
