Track prep by people who go to the track

Track Day Preparation in Calgary

Track preparation at Alpine Autowerks covers safety equipment, cooling and inspection for lapping days and time attack, set up by people who use their own track time to test what they sell.

What track preparation covers

A track finds weaknesses a commute never will.

Pre-track inspection

Inspection before lapping days and time attack, so problems are found in the shop and not on the circuit.

Brakes

Pads, rotors, lines and fluid chosen for your use. The fastest car in the group should also be the one that stops.

Track alignment

Adjusted geometry for track driving, always with a printout of before and after.

Tires and wheels

Sizing, offset and compound chosen for grip and clearance, with touchless mounting and road-force balancing.

Safety equipment

Safety equipment for dedicated builds. Our E92 M3 track car shows a welded roll cage, race seats and harnesses going in.

Cooling

Cooling upgraded in balance with power, braking and grip, so the car stays trustworthy as it gets faster.

Why have your car prepared here

We drive what we build

Track experience informs every recommendation, because a spec sheet cannot tell you how a car feels at the limit.

Goals first, parts second

Daily with an edge, weekend canyon car or dedicated track build. The goal decides the parts list, never the other way around.

Verified and documented

Road or track verified against the goal we set together, with documentation of what was done.

Independent for over 25 years

Factory-trained technicians who work on these platforms every day, and a Calgary reputation built on telling owners the truth about their cars.

Track day questions

Does my car need modifications for a first track day?

Usually not. A healthy car with fresh brake fluid, good pads and good tires is enough to start. Modifications make sense once you know what the car needs.

What is the first upgrade worth making?

Tires, brakes and suspension usually transform a car more than power does.

Can you set up an alignment for the track?

Yes. We set alignment to your use: factory spec for daily comfort, adjusted geometry for spirited or track driving. See wheel alignment.

Do you build dedicated track cars?

Yes, from daily drivers with sharpened edges to dedicated track builds, including safety equipment and cooling.
