Highly suggest PTM mode Sport 1.

I am a novice HPDE driver and found it was the right level of fun/safety. I would not do the event at ALL in anything but a PTM mode in my opinion. So that being said, Dry or Sport 1 should be the best blend of fun/safety. You may want to start out in Dry and if you feel it is holding back on acceleration or just being too safe go Sport 1.

I had to go to PTM Race mode on a wet skid pad to get any kind of under/over steering to occur <60 mph in wet conditions on the non SC3 F1 (non R version).

I used the factory track alignment and recommended tire pressures. I would keep an on the tires this time the year especially in Texas, you may need to make additional adjustments after your first session. Suggest having the tire temp display up during your first session to make sure you aren't overheating them grossly.
