Pre-Start Checks
Fuel
The Ginetta G55 on average uses approx. 1.2L per minute (although this should be checked throughout testing, see
page 37 for more information on fuel usage). To ensure the first session is completed without any fuel issues put 45L
into the car.
Ensure fuel is vented correctly when filling car, and always fill the same side on each fill to avoid airlocks.
Only use fuel with an octane rating of 98 or higher and under less than 2% oxygenated.
Spanner Check
The car needs to be spanner checked before leaving the workshop, and daily whilst at track. Using the supplied
checklists on pages 32, 33, and 35, as part of a routine visual check will ensure nothing is over looked.
