any good advice for what settings to change on an EVo X for a track day? Any useful tips for tyre pressures etc?

ummmm, lot's posted on track prep.

At a minimum:

Change your brake fluid
Check your pads
Check your pressure - and check it after each session. the right pressure depends on the tires, temp, track etc. low profile street tires, run them a little higher, maybe 38+ hot.
The list goes on.

drink a lot of water. look far ahead. Be respectful to other drivers.

If the chassis is stock with stock wheels & tires 30lbs front and 33-34 rear works good for a cold start pressure.

Bleed brakes with motul rbf600

Sleep good the night before and do some mental and physical stretching even tho driving isn't physical to get you mentally loose and relaxed

I'm probably a little late on this but this information may help someone else.



Bring Jerry Cans of fuel, last thing you need it to have fuel surge on a high speed, high G corner. Always keep your fuel level above half to manage the situation. Having an updated fuel pump relay would also be a good idea too.




Tyre Pressures are all important and depending on the tyres you have will depend on the hot pressure you need to run, There is no rule of thumb here as tyre pressures will be dictated by the track layout, the ambient temp and the way you drive. I would suggest however if you are using a road tyre to be shooting for a higher pressure than normal, typically a road car tyre has a softer side wall then a competition tyre. Also, make sure you have a tyre pressure gauge (preferably new so you can trust it) that has a bleed valve on it so you can bleed your tyres down if required and don't get a digital gauge, the manual gauges work the best. Also, if you are going to check pressures, make sure you do it immediately after a session, jump out of the car and work your way around the car, if you dont get on it straight away the heat from the brakes will soak into the wheels and tyres as they arent getting any cool moving air.




Run as much camber as you can. A setup, scale and align will be your best friend.




For your Brakes, replacing your pads is worth while, but if you can't afford to upgrade them properly and you are just going to buy a cheap set of pads, then keep your standard pads in there. No point buying them twice. You'll require a high temp brake fluid, and do the free brake upgrade by removing your front backing plates from behind the rotors, also cooling scoops that bolt on to the lower control arms will aid brake efficiency.




Keep your windscreen clean as a driver with better vision will drive quicker than another that has some form of obstruction, even if it's just grime.... I kid you not.




If it's your first time, turn ASC off only once and put the car into gravel mode, it works best in that mode at a track environment as the diff when going from an open to a closed state is more suited to circuit work.




Above all else, have fun! There is no point dong any form of motorsport if it isn't fun anymore.

There is a heap of other things I've left out, but where do you start. Hopefully something I've mentioned might hit a chord with you. Good luck and I hope you enjoy yourself!

even tho driving isn't physical

orly?
