Track Day Preparation for C7 ZR1 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

rosshaden · 07-26-2024

Hello everyone,

I am planning to take my C7 ZR1 to a track day for the first time and could use some advice from those who have experience with this. What preparations and modifications would you recommend to ensure optimal performance and safety on the track?

I am interested in suggestions for Tire choices and pressures; Brake upgrades or adjustments; Suspension settings; Engine tuning or cooling enhancements ; Necessary safety equipment

I have checked Track-Day-Preparation-Guide-for-C7-ZR1-react native guide but still need help .

Any tips on what to bring to the track; how to manage fuel consumption, and general best practices for a successful and enjoyable track day would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Talk to Adam at Carbotech about your plans and get the right brake pads. Flush the brake fluid and replace with Castrol SRF.
Try tire pressure at 30psi cold front and 28 rear. Lower if your hot pressure gets to 40. Michelin PSC2 (no need to get R compound yet)
No need to tune or add power. Have fun be safe.
You?ll need an SA2015 or newer rated helmet if you don?t have one already.
