Keep checking your tyre pressures as they will increase as your tyres get hotter.

Unless you run on Michelin Pilot super sport, they will have a minimal increase due to the use of twaron instead of steel

I am running the super sports mate, what PSI would you recommend starting at and what be my target 'hot' PSI? I was thinking start at around 35 (they're 225/40/18's) and not let them go above 39 - 40

You should keep the 35 and not have to worry about letting out air as the twaron keeps the tyre cooler than other tyres. At donington i just kept the pressure from the road and there was no need to adjust despite it being almost 30 degrees celsius on that day

Over the top mod list ;o)
