Skaha Ford is partnering with Area 27 Motorsports Park to bring you Track Day. The event will allow drivers to test their vehicles and skills against a challenging 4.83-kilometre race course.Track Day, which is open to a maximum of 45 participants, is on June 16, starting at 8 am. Â
How can drivers prepare their vehicles for this special event?Â
In addition to a regular tune-up and fluid inspection, you may want to consider focusing on your wheels. An alignment check is not only good for daily driving (and improving efficiency), it also ensures accurate steering, which is vital when taking on racetrack curves.Â
You might also want to get a tire inspection ahead of Track Day. Under or over-inflation can negatively affect handling, while excess tread wear can cause you to lose grip during aggressive manoeuvres.Â
You can contact our BC service centre to schedule a tune-up and have your wheels aligned before Track Day.
Skaha Ford presents Track Day at the Area 27 Motorsports Park on June 16, 2021. 45 drivers will be able to take on the 4.83 km course in their vehicle.To prepare for this special event, motorists should ensure that their cars are in perfect working order. You can visit our service centre for a multi-point inspection and engine tune-up.
What exactly happens during such a visit?Â
A technician looks at the different components of the powertrain, including spark plugs, hoses, belts, rotors, valves, and filters. They will measure and top off all fluids and clean or replace pieces if needed. The process often includes both a visual inspection and a digital check using the onboard computer.
Since happenings like Track Day are rare, you will want to take full advantage by ensuring that your vehicle works perfectly. Contact us to inquire about the event, and then visit our service centre for a complete tune-up.
During Track Day, on June 16, select members of the public can bring their vehicles to BC's Area 27 Motorsports Park. Skaha Ford customers can reserve one of the 45 available spots for this special event. Then, they can head to the service centre to get a tune-up so that their car performs its best on the course.What maintenance tasks should you consider ahead of Track Day?Â
A technician can inspect your vehicle and tell you exactly what you need to do to maximise performance. They can ensure proper lubricant levels for the engine, transmission, and brakes. Also, a good mechanic will look at more-specialised elements, such as the oxygen sensor and fuel filter.Â
You also may wish to be certain that your tires have enough tread to work at their best. Regular maintenance tasks, such as rotating and aligning wheels, adjusting air pressure, and checking brake pads can go a long way toward ensuring optimal performance.Â
