Do Hyundai dealers have a way of knowing if you track your car?

Default Do Hyundai dealers have a way of knowing if you track your car?

Just curious....you hear about Evo and WRX dealers having ways of knowing if owners track their cars and when the owners take the car in for warranty work, they are denied. So is there a way that Hyundai dealers can tell if you track the car? I know if you have damage from hitting a wall or something, thats obvious but could they tell from heavy launches, burn outs, shifting really hard, etc?

burnt fluids, bald tires, added wear, plus some manufactures actually go to the track and take pictures of license plates



some cars actually record info in the computer like how many times you hit the rev limiter and if youve gone faster than 85mph

mask or pluck the plates so they can't take pictures, flush the fluids before dealer visits and keep secondhand set of wheels for race use while keeping the stock ones in the garage or storage, spare secondhand ecu is good idea also..anything to cover your tracks.



obviously to some people like me and others..a 17 year old hyundai is exempt of such worries.

Always disconnect the battery after a track day. This gets rid of all the recorded data.
