Information on racetrack operation

Racetrack operation is understood as the operation of the vehicle in extreme situations when it is used on race tracks or closed-off tracks.

Your vehicle may be used on both public roads and race tracks. The vehicle operating loads differ depending on use, which require differing maintenance intervals.

When the vehicle is operated on a racetrack, the component parts are subject to higher loads than on the road.

To account for these loads, the following measures in particular are taken as part of the maintenance intervals:
  • Checking and replacing individual components

  • Overhauling complete assemblies after specific periods of use

Additional checks must always be carried out on the vehicle before and after each use on a racetrack.

NOTE Damage to component parts through a rise in temperature after operation on a racetrack

If the vehicle is switched off directly after operation on a racetrack, heat caused when the vehicle is stationary may continue to raise the temperature of the component parts.

In exceptional cases, the component parts may become permanently damaged.

Do not switch off the vehicle immediately. Carry out cool down laps at low speed with minimal brake application.

Assemblies under strain, such as the engine and the braking system, cool down faster this way.

Do not open the bonnet when the fan is in run-on mode, which is clearly audible and can last up to 30 minutes.

Doing so ensures that the cooling air is optimally distributed.

Always allow a Track-Check to be carried out at a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre before and after use on the racetrack.

Motorsport equipment is only intended for use where road traffic regulations do not apply. This also applies to modifications to both the suspension and aerodynamic component parts.

You can obtain further information on servicing your vehicle from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
