Yeah Nitrogen, not air.
If it were to be normal air then there would be some water present which would react as the temperature increased due to the speed of the car. Then the tyre would probably just blow out all the time.

I have experimented with nitrogen, argon (for heat transfer) and Helium (to reduce unsprung weight). Helium was good for up to 3 hours but could go down in pressure quite quickly.
In the end weere restricted in our class of racing in England to air only (dry)

i believe it is north sea gas,the salt in it helps to preserve the rubber.
