TECHNICAL MANUAL LEON CUP RACER
15 de 48
Notes:

Can be applied in different gears. Recommended 3rd or 4
th
gear.

Is not recommended to activate it in the track, when safety car or others.
Driver has to consider 2.6

Learn and memorize the steering wheel buttons place and functions will allow drivers a more fast
action and will help to not lose the track reference point.

Warm up the engine before starting. The minimum water temperature before to load the engine is
80
⁰
C.

Check the brake pedal is hard when car is standing and on the acceleration way.

Warm up the tires before attacking. Without blankets use, the rear tires takes 2 laps to warm and
this car is very sensitive on that.

Shift up the gear when shift light indicates. With 410 Nm 2WD front its recommend shift around
6300 rpm.

Shift down gears without stress. Automatic gearbox needs reduce engine rpm to permit the next
shifting down. Do not shift down 3 times consecutively if the previous gear was not engaged.
(memory active for 1 sec).

Last lap: Cool down brakes and engine water to avoid the engine and discs thermal shock.

Display alarms: There are three different possibilities to show alarms, 1) LEDs lateral, 2) red
ribbon bellow screen 3) completely screen
pop up message. Stops the engine if “pop up”
message appears. (Oil or water). Speaks with your engineer about the alarms configuration.

If for any reason you have to drop out the car on the track put
the gear lever in “N” Neutral to
save the transmission in case of being towed.
DISCS BEDDING PROCEDURE
To get the maximum life please follow the instructions below:
o
Where possible bed discs with used pads.
o
To reduce thermal shock during bedding the brake ducts may be 50% taped off.
o
Apply the brakes gently at low speed a few times to ensure correct installation.
o
Apply the brakes moderately, (progressively up to 50% race speed, 25% race pressure), for 10-
20 applications to ensure above 80% pad face contact with disc. (The contact with the disc face is
particularly important at the inner swept area. The first time a driver gets used to bedding discs on
a car it is worthwhile getting him to return to the pits to check contact is sufficient before
preceding to the next step).
o
Progressively build up to about 70% of race speed and 50% of race pressure, then apply brakes
for approximately 25 applications.
o
Perform one lap cooling down before returning to the pits.
o
The orange temperature paint should be turned on the surface and the green 75% of the way
through the disc thickness at which point any tape can be removed. On returning to the track
progressively come up to race speed and pressure.
