    400 – Front Axle, Anti-Roll Bar, Dampers and Steering 400 – 2.7 Brake discs It is highly recommended that the brake discs and pads are bedded according to the instructions issued by Brembo (see below). Bedding should prevent the creation of cracks in the discs and pads and increase the durability. It cannot be guaranteed that shorter versions of the bedding procedure will produce the same level of safety and service life of brake discs and pads.

Normally, this operation can be avoided because the RB330, 340 & 350 friction material are initially very abrasive and able to clean up the disc surface automatically, though time-to-bed will likely increase.

The heat transferred into the disc becomes however higher (high gradient of temperature) toward the end of the bedding because the disc surface is now completely and uniformly settled up and the friction efficiency optimized, at this point no risk of uneven heat distribution and distortion should exist.

    If changes are desired and teams are still unfamiliar with RaceCon, please do not hesitate to contact customer support at Audi Sport customer racing. a) Going online with the system To make changes in the RaceCon project a connection with the car must be created.
  • Page 88 900- Electric and Data Acquisition The following changes can only be made online: Every calibration or adjustment Adapting the pit speed (after changing the value always copy the WP, work page, to the RP, reference page) After connecting to the car, a status LED (green, yellow or red) is displayed for every component listed in the system tree.
  • Page 89 900- Electric and Data Acquisition After making changes to the project, which are made online, the configuration must be downloaded to the car in order to ensure that the computer and car configurations match. If the MS6.4-ECU status message is yellow after connecting to the car, this indicates that changes were made offline, whereby the parameters between computer and ECU differ.

  • Page 95: Diagnosis

    900- Electric and Data Acquisition 900 - 2 Diagnosis The R8 LMS on-board system architecture provides complete diagnostic capability of almost every actuator and sensor. As a result, there are several options available to detect and diagnose errors. One option is via the RaceCon interface when the ERROR page is selected. This page displays every monitored variable, which is controlled or received by the ECU.
  • Page 96 900- Electric and Data Acquisition The following page view includes every component that should be checked before the engine start. For example, calibrations can be checked if they were successful. To check every component, the following page view also allows every component to be checked that requires the engine to be running.
  • Page 97 900- Electric and Data Acquisition Monitoring values via the display during the engine start procedure is complemented by another page view in RaceCon. The engine’s actual status is indicated in the left field of the page. In contrast to the previous page views, the pressures and temperatures are listed separately, which provides improved performance when monitoring the most important values.
