I accept that for track but with the rapid changes of direction on imperfect tarmac, wouldn't lower pressure give better grip because of compliance? (sidewalls absorbing lateral shocks so that the maximum shock whilst maintaining grip is higher).
Would be nice to quote Sheldon at this point but he concentrated on puctures and rolling resistance in his sections about pressure.
