Default Proper 997 Cup Proper Warm up

Hi,
I have seen references for proper 997 cup warmup however I have not seen a list for the warmup.

Can someone please provide an appropriate warmup procedure.

As I am about to run my first event!

Thanks

We use to rise it, start the engine, engage a gear, and let the engine and gearbox warmup up to an Eng temp of 75-80 degrees, then stop it.

Curious of other replies ;-)

For IMSA qualifying, Horst Farnbacher told us NOT to warm up the cars- to go out as cold as possible for maximum power (keep intake manifold cool?).

Not recommended for club racing, especially these sequential trans.

Good luck!!!

Someone at Wright Motorsports told me 140 F on the oil temp before you hammer it.
