Lay it out in the sun on a warm day. This will make it pliable and a lot easier to install.

When I did mine I sprayed the floor with rubberized under coating then put down a new foil insulation then carpeting. helped a lot with noise and heat.

I'm surprised you would even bother installing carpet in a race car...
