Track-day prep for a road-registered hypercar

Tyres, fluids, alignment and telemetry — a practical setup guide that keeps warranty and value intact.

By Ravi Menon

Taking a seven-figure road car on circuit is entirely reasonable — provided the preparation is done in the right order and nothing you do voids the factory warranty.

Fluids first, always

Fresh high-temperature brake fluid, an engine oil with a documented track rating and a gearbox fluid inside its service window. Fluids fail before tyres do, and they fail without warning.

Tyre pressures are set hot, not cold — record every session on the same sheet.

Alignment and telemetry

A mild track alignment costs little and transforms front-end confidence, but log the original settings so the car can be returned to factory geometry before sale. Telemetry matters: a car with logged, sensible track use sells better than one with rumours attached.

A documented track history is not a liability. An undocumented one is.
