NOTE:

It is recommended that you target 40psi Hot Tire

Pressure at the conclusion of each track session. Starting

at 32psi Front & 30psi Rear Cold and adjusting based on

ambient & track conditions is recommended. Tire pres-

sure can be monitored via the Driver Information Display

(DID) and can assist with adjustments.

Track burnishing your brakes:
To avoid “green lining fade” during track use, the brake

pads and rotors must have a thermal burnish for factory

installed components or when new brake friction com-

ponents are installed:
1. Use one track session to burnish brakes by driving at

75% speed. Brake at approximately 0.60-0.80g max

without ABS intervention.

2. Lap the track in this manner until you start smelling

the brakes. Continue for another ½ lap at speed, then

do a two lap cool down with minimal brake applies.

Make sure the brakes are not smoking. If they are, do

another cool down lap.

3. Do not continue for more than 1 full burnishing lap

after you start smelling the brakes. Do not get them

smoking heavily. This will get them too hot and affect

their life negatively in future track use.

4. Allow vehicle to sit and cool in the paddock for at least

30 min. If an infrared thermal gun is available, allow

rotors to cool to 200°F before going back out.

5. There should be a thin, ash layer when inspecting the

pads installed in the caliper. Having the ash layer go

more than half the thickness of the pad material

indicates too aggressive of a burnish.
