Racing or Other
Competitive Driving
Racing or competitive driving may
affect the vehicle warranty. See the
warranty book before using the
vehicle for racing or other
competitive driving.
Notice: If you use the vehicle
for racing or other competitive
driving, the engine may use more
oil than it would with normal use.
Low oil levels can damage the
engine. For information on how
to add oil, see
Engine Oil on
page 10 ‑ 15 .
ZO6, ZR1, and Grand Sport Only:
Be sure to check the oil level
often during racing or other
competitive driving and keep the
level at or near the upper mark
that shows the proper operating
range on the engine oil dipstick.
Except ZO6, ZR1, and Grand
Sport: Be sure to check the oil
level often during racing or other
competitive driving and keep the
level at or near 1 L (1 qt) above
the upper mark that shows the
proper operating range on the
engine oil dipstick. After the
competitive driving, remove
excess oil so that the level on
the dipstick is not above the
upper mark that shows the
proper operating range.
ZO6, ZR1, and Grand Sport Only:
For racing or competitive driving,
it is recommended that the brake
fluid be replaced with a high
performance brake fluid that has
a dry boiling point greater than
279°C (534°F). After conversion to
the high performance brake fluid,
follow the brake fluid service
recommendations outlined by the
fluid manufacturer. Do not use
silicone or DOT
‐ 5 brake fluids.
ZO6, ZR1, and Grand Sport Only:
For racing or competitive driving, it
is recommended that the loading of
the vehicle be limited to the driver
only, with no other cargo, and that
tires be inflated to 180 kPa (26 psi)
for a maximum speed of 230 km/h
(143 mph).
If the vehicle is a ZO6, ZR1,
or Grand Sport model, it has
greaseable outer ends on both of
the rear toe
‐ links. Under normal
use, lubrication should be performed
as described in the maintenance
schedule. See
Scheduled
Maintenance on page 11 ‑ 2 and
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11
‑ 6 . If using
the vehicle for racing, lubrication
should be performed at the end of
each racing day. See your dealer
for lubrication and make sure any
needed repairs are made at once.
Proper procedures for performing
these services can be found in
the service manual. See
