When driving on a racetrack, make sure that the
brake fluid is not more than 12 months old.
Brake callipers, brake hoses and brake lines
Check the following for damage each time
before driving the vehicle on a racetrack:
R
The dust boots on the brake callipers
R
The brake hoses and brake lines
Replace them if necessary.
Brake cooling
Special air deflectors and channels are fitted to
the front and rear axles so that the brakes are
cooled sufficiently. They supply the brake disks
with cooling air. Check that they are in perfect
condition and correctly fitted each time before
driving the vehicle on a racetrack. Excessive
wear can be caused by driving over kerbs, for
instance. For this reason, regularly check they
are all complete and fitted securely.
In addition, check that the air guide plates are
seated securely and clean before and after driv‐
ing the vehicle on a racetrack.
Observe the information on the cooling of com‐
ponents which are subject to strain in when driv‐
ing on a racetrack (
