With a slower expansion rate it could have benefits on a hot day and for longer races. If you decide that 20 psi is the ideal for the race then you may have to set your starting pressure at 18psi if you expect to finish at around 24 psi (with normal air from your compressor). With nitrogen you may be able to start at 19 psi and finish at 20 psi.
All this obviously needs testing and also depends on how well you can judge the ideal pressurs for each race based on track temperature and number of laps.
