They have a helpful table for us noobs, about halfway down.
So much to learn. But then at my age, re-learning is a daily fact of life.

Haha well, like AlienDNA said, the biggest thing is just to get out there and have fun
None of us are going to win a World Championship.
I honestly don't use a pyrometer very much. I prefer to look at the tire: note how it's wearing, how the rubber balls/grains when it gets hot, etc to determine camber. If it's a powerful car, like our 135i, then you have to keep in mind the importance of putting power down out of slow corners, and that's something you go to the data logger for (or the seat of your pants if you don't have a data logger!).
