tread dep thboth before and af ter use on a race‐
trac k.Only then is it safe todrive on a racetrack
and on public roads.
As a result of the driving style and at high ambi‐
ent temp eratures, when driving on a racetrack it
may be necessary tocompensate forthe
inc rease in pressure in warm tyres byreleasing
air. Even forwa rm tyres, the specified tyre pres‐
sure may only be exceeded bymax. 0.5 bar.
Af terth e tyres ha vecooled down again, you
must readjust the tyre pressure in accordance

ing situations:
R theve hicle height has changed in relation to
th e optimised setting.
R theve hicle is frequently subjected tovery
high loads, e.g. when driving over kerbs.
Therefore, check theve hicle height at regular
inter vals and, if necessar y,per form vehicle
measurements.
