TECH TIPS<br />

THE IMPORTANCE OF ALSO INSPECTING YOUR FERRARI<br />

AFTER A TRACK EVENT<br />

An item that can make your next track experience run even<br />

smoother but not normally mentioned in the past, is having a post track<br />

inspection performed on your <strong>Ferrari</strong>. <strong>The</strong>re are many items that were in good<br />

condition at the beginning <strong>of</strong> the weekend that can be used up or worn out<br />

after the weekend. Running hard on the race track for two days puts a lot <strong>of</strong><br />

wear on the tires. An inspection <strong>of</strong> your tires can save you scrambling to find<br />

fresh tires at the last minute before the next event. It’s also a safety issue for<br />

your car being driven on the street after an event because <strong>of</strong> the danger <strong>of</strong> a<br />

tire failure from a worn out tread or the chance <strong>of</strong> a skid while driving in the<br />

rain. If your brakes got hot enough that the petal is not as firm as before the<br />

event they should be bled. Brake pads are subject to a lot <strong>of</strong> hard use and<br />

abuse during a track weekend and checking them for wear afterwards can<br />

save you being turned down at your next tech inspection. <strong>The</strong> safety <strong>of</strong> the<br />

car being driven on the street before the next track meet is an even more<br />

important issue. Running the engine at its limit for two long track days also<br />

subjects it to more than normal heat and wear. Seals and oil hoses exposed<br />

to the excessive heat can begin to leak, so should be inspected after each<br />

event. If you experienced excessive oil temperatures while driving on the<br />

track, the oil should be changed. When the excitement <strong>of</strong> your last track<br />

experience wears <strong>of</strong>f, help insure that your next time out will run smoother<br />

and safer by having a thorough post-event inspection performed on your car.<br />
