Left rear tyre loses pressure

It's probably a leak somewhere. Might be a pucture or might be a bad seal. If you don't have a pucture close to the sidewall, they can probably fix it.

Thanks. I guess I knew the answer but wanted to be sure ;-)
Thing is, I'm racing at le Mans (amateur) on 7th July. Don't know if I'll have the time to check the tyre by then.
Do you think I can inflate the tyre just before the race and still have fun?
Thanks!

That's dangerous.

Make the time to check the tire for a puncture before you take it out on track.

That is beyond dangerous OP

I would suggest getting that addressed ASAP and if you can't get it checked you should not be running at high speeds

Although it is best w the tire off, get a spray bottle w water and a couple of drops of dishsoap. Air up the tire to capacity and sray the tire w mixture until U see bubbles. That would be the leaking area!

Thanks guys and @phohman
I actually have the "run flat thingy" in my trunk, I shall maybe use it and see what's the result.
For whatever reason the company I'm used to go for tyres problems have a huuuge waiting list
