Be safe, be swift, with a pre-trackday inspection
July 5, 2010 | 
Author Torque Developments Plc is delighted to unveil an aftermarket industry first – a one-stop shop pre-track day inspection service for race and high performance road cars. The popularity of trackdays with road legal cars has exploded over the last decade, yet in many ways track days are more mechanically stressful on machinery than pure racing events, because of the duration of the circuit activity, often using a car with tens of thousands of miles on the clock.As with all circuit activity, safe performance is paramount, so the Torque Developments pre-Trackday inspection not only assesses that a vehicle is fit for purpose on the track, it also provides vital information to clients about how well the car will perform both before and after it’s left the pitlane.
That’s because the new pre-trackday inspection includes an exhaust noise test – a matter of vital importance for UK trackdays where limits of 95 to 98 decibels are increasingly commonplace. Why experience the frustration and inconvenience of not being allowed trackside, when Torque Developments can provide advance warning of any exhaust noise issues? To that end, the Torque Developments pre-trackday inspection includes the following procedures:
- A Rototest hub mounted chassis dyno run with data logging to provide a print out of DIN corrected power and torque and air/fuel ratio.
- Roll out geometry check on the latest John Bean Arago machine to provide a print out of chassis straightness and all geometry angles.
- A full 26 point vehicle inspection by Torque Development’s ATA certified technicians.
- Exhaust noise level test.
