Track driving
To achieve optimum performance and
reliability it is important to ensure the
following preconditions are met before
attempting to drive your vehicle on a track:
•engine oil is at normal operating
temperature
•water is at normal operating
temperature
•tyres should not exceed the safe
operating temperatures
NOTE: Before you use your vehicle on
the track, consult your McLaren Retailer.
McLaren recommend that your vehicle
is inspected before and after track use.
NOTE: Always drive within your limits and
the limits of the vehicle.
Cooling down
We recommend you take time to cool the
vehicle during track driving due to the high
temperatures that may be generated by the
brakes and transmission which could affect
performance. Time should be taken to drive
the vehicle at a slower speed without using
hard braking or carrying out excessive gear
changes, this uses the airflow to cool the
vehicle.
We recommend that time is allowed for your
vehicle to return to normal operating
temperatures before leaving the track.
NOTE: When stopping the vehicle
directly after performance driving we
recommend that the ignition is not
immediately switched off or the parking
brake is applied. We recommend that the
engine is left to idle prior to the ignition
being switched off.
NOTE: Please refer to your Service &
Warranty Guide for track and
competition use implications.
