I don't know one racer who sets his tyre pressures hot, and I don't know of any tyre companies who make race tyres who recommend you do.

In the past 4 years I've been in and around race paddocks and trackdays almost every other weekend - I see a lot of people checking tyre pressures and they always do them cold. The race bikes I prep and spanner are certainly only ever checked cold and the only time we change them is under extreme ambient temperature changes in the weather.
