I would not go anything less than 2.5bar...
if its hot day, pressure will raise a bit when tires get heat up after few laps.
I would set rear a bit higher than front since fwd cars will understeer, so it usually balances a bit.
Plus as the fronts will heat up more the pressure will raise more in front.

Last time when i hit the track with my old 1P i used 2,7 front / 3 rear

Thanks. It was a pretty warm day and the tyres got fryed after just 2 laps, and then just screaming and no grip. Had to shift front and rear mid day. Now gonna have to buy all 4 new :(

Yes, road tyres does not perform too well on track, few laps and and they lose grip.
I used to have a set for trackdays, Toyo R888 they were superb on track.
