Driving and Operating
Load Limit: Limit the vehicle to the
driver and one passenger, with no
additional cargo.
Tire Pressure Requirement: Inflate
tires to no less than 300 kPa
(44 psi) cold.
Tracks with Combined High-Speed
and High-Load Corners
(e.g., Nurburgring Nordschliefe, Spa
Francorchamps, or similar)
Load Limit: Limit the vehicle to the
driver and one passenger, with no
additional cargo.
Tire Pressure Requirement: Inflate
tires to no less than 260 kPa
(38 psi) cold and limit to 230 km/h
(143 mph) until 290 kPa (42 psi) is
reached.
Road/Street Courses
(e.g., Virginia International
Raceway, Road Atlanta, or similar)
Load Limit: Limit the vehicle to the
driver and one passenger, with no
additional cargo.
Tire Pressure Recommendation:
Hot: Target hot tire pressures to
270-280 kPa (39-41 psi). This is the
stable tire pressure reached after
approximately 15 minutes of
operation at maximum driver effort.
Cold: This value will vary based on
driving style, track, temperature, and
weather conditions.
Return the tires to the
recommended cold tire inflation
pressure when high-speed driving
has ended. See

Driving on Wet Roads

ability to stop and accelerate.
Always drive slower in these types
of driving conditions and avoid
driving through large puddles and
deep-standing or flowing water.

Warning
Wet brakes can cause crashes.
They might not work as well in a
quick stop and could cause
pulling to one side. You could
lose control of the vehicle.
After driving through a large
puddle of water or a car/vehicle
wash, lightly apply the brake
pedal until the brakes work
normally.
Flowing or rushing water creates
strong forces. Driving through
flowing water could cause the
vehicle to be carried away. If this
happens, you and other vehicle
occupants could drown. Do not
ignore police warnings and be
very cautious about trying to drive
through flowing water.
Hydroplaning
Hydroplaning is dangerous. Water
can build up under the vehicle's
tires so they actually ride on the
water. This can happen if the road is
