The manual says there is no need for special driving habits to break in the car, but it does say not to redline or push the car too hard for the firs 500 miles or so. You might want to cool it for awhile unless you would like your car to not last long.

well, i was going to alert you that there is a thread for "i'm getting/just got a tC" and the tC lobby was the incorrect place to start a new thread like this. but really, this thread is about your racing, so i'm moving this thread to the autosports & techniquie forum.
congratulations on the car btw.
