Well the big benefit to running nitrogen is the tire pressure changes. With nitrogen the tire pressure change due to heat is smaller. But this is not exactly the nitrogen doing this, (nitrogen is a gas, when it heats it expands just like breathing air, no way to stop that), but what nitrogen does is have less moisture than the atmosphere. This is what keeps the pressure from rising as much. This is what keeps the pressure from rising as much. When I ran a GT3 cup team we saw about a 3-40% change in tire pressure whereas with just air it was 40-55% changes (the changes varied a lot due to different tracks and track conditions of course)
