2. Use enough pedal force to
completely stop the vehicle in
four to five seconds. If ABS
activates, braking is too hard.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 – 20
consecutive times, this should
take about 5 minutes.
4. After completing the 20 stops,
cool the brakes by driving for
8 km (5 mi) at 100 km/h
(60 mph).

force to increase. This could
extend stopping distance until the

1. Drive a normal first lap, not too
aggressively.
2. Laps 2 and 3 should be
gradually driven faster and
more aggressively, while
allowing for reduced brake
output and increased stopping
distance due to brake fade.
3. Drive Lap 4 near full speed,
while allowing for reduced
brake output and increased
stopping distance due to
brake fade.
4. Laps 5 and 6 should be cool
down laps.
5. Lap 7 should be normal driving
or an easy out lap.
Exhaust Cooling
Hardware (ZR1)
The exhaust cooling hardware
should be installed prior to any track
event. These components will help
cool the exhaust system.
To install the closeout plates and
deflectors:
1. Install the 12 U-nuts onto the
tunnel brace. Align the
threaded holes in the U-nuts
with the holes in the tunnel
brace.
