Driving and Operating 185
least 1 km (0.6 mi) between
stops. Repeat until the brake
pedal travel starts to increase.
Depending on conditions, this
should take no longer than 25
brake applications.
3. Cool down: Drive at 100 km/h
(60 mph) for approximately
15 km (10 mi) without using the
brakes.

Tires
Follow the requirements and
recommendations for tire inflation
pressures while driving on various
types of tracks. This helps to
achieve a well-balanced vehicle and
enhance tire traction performance.
Use good judgment to determine the
appropriate inflation pressure and
speeds for the track configuration
and environmental conditions.
Contact the tire manufacturer if
further assistance is needed.
Inflation Pressure Guidelines
Tire pressures affect vehicle
handling and tire life, and should be
adjusted for various types of track
courses. Inspect the tires prior to
every track session. Track driving
will reduce the tire tread life.
{
Warning
Operating the vehicle at high
speeds can be dangerous.
Improper tire inflation pressure
can put additional strain on the
tires and can cause a sudden
failure. Make sure the tires are in
excellent condition, and use the
correct cold tire inflation pressure
for the vehicle load and track or
course.
{
Warning
Track courses put high loads on
tires operating at high speed,
which can lead to tire failure if not
inflated properly.
