On V-Series, remove front tyre
deflectors if equipped, before track
driving for optimised brake cooling.

Rear: -1.7 deg camber, 0.2 deg
total toe
V-Series Vehicles Equipped
with the Original Equipment
Tyres
Follow the requirements and
recommendations for tyre inflation
pressures while driving on various
types of tracks. This helps to
achieve a well-balanced vehicle and
enhance tyre traction performance.
Use good judgement to determine
the appropriate inflation pressure
and speeds for the track
configuration and environmental
conditions. Contact the tyre
manufacturer if further assistance is
needed.
Inflation Pressure Guidelines
Tyre pressures affect vehicle
handling and tyre life, and should be
adjusted for various types of track
courses. Inspect the tyres prior to
every track session. Track driving
will reduce the tyre tread life.
Warning
Operating the vehicle at high
speeds can be dangerous.
Improper tyre inflation pressure
can put additional strain on the
tyres and can cause a sudden
failure. Make sure the tyres are in
excellent condition, and use the
correct cold tyre inflation pressure
for the vehicle load and track or
course.
Warning
Track courses put high loads on
tyres operating at high speed,
which can lead to tyre failure if
not inflated properly.
Tracks with Sustained High-Speed
Operation on Banked Turns
(e.g., Daytona International
Speedway, Indianapolis Motor
Speedway, or similar)
Load Limit: Limit the vehicle to the
driver and one passenger, with no
additional cargo.
Tyre Pressure Requirement: Inflate
tyres to no less than 300 kPa
(44 psi) cold.
Tracks with Combined High-Speed
and High-Load Corners
(e.g., Nurburgring Nordschliefe, Spa
Francorchamps, or similar)
Load Limit: Limit the vehicle to the
driver and one passenger, with no
additional cargo.
Tyre Pressure Requirement: Inflate
tyres to no less than 260 kPa
(38 psi) cold and limit to 230 km/h
(143 mph) until 290 kPa (42 psi) is
reached.
