When driving on a
racetrac k,make sure that the
brake fluid is not more than 12 months old.
Brake callipers, brake hoses and brake lines
Check thefo llowing for dama geeach time
before driving theve hicle on a racetrack:
R The du stboots on the brake callipers
R The brake hoses and brake lines
Re place them if necessar y.
Brake cooling
Special air deflectors and channels are fitted to
th e front and rear axles so that the brakes are
cooled suf ficiently. They supply the brake disks
with cooling air. Check that they are in per fect
condition and cor rectly fitted ea chtime be fore
driving theve hicle on a racetrac k.Excessi ve
we ar can be caused bydriving overke rbs, for
ins tance. Forth is reason, regularly check they
are all comple teand fitted securely.
In addition, check that the air guide plates are
seated securely and clean before and af ter driv‐
ing theve hicle on a racetrac k. Obser

Note
s on inter changing wheels &
WARNING Risk of injury thro ugh dif fer‐
ent wheel sizes
Inter changing the front and rear wheels if the
wheels or tyres ha vediffere nt dimensions
may se verely impair the driving characteris‐
tics.
The disk brakes or wheel suspension compo‐
nents may also be damaged. #
Rotate front and rear wheels on lyifthe
wheels and tyres are of the same
dimensions. Inter
changing the front and rear wheels if the
wheels or tyres ha vediffere nt dimensions can
re nder thege neral operating pe rmit in valid.
The wear pat tern s on the front and rear wheels
dif fer:
R Front wheels wear more on the shoulder of
th e tyre
R Rear wheels wear more in the cent reofthe
tyre Do not drive wi
thtyres that ha vetoo little tread
dep th. This significantly reduces traction on wet
ro ads (aquaplaning).
On vehicles with the same front and rear wheel
size, you can inter change the wheels every
5,000 to10,000 km, depending on thewe ar.
Ensure the direction of rotation is maintained for
th e wheels.
