Looking for guidance whether to put a bra on C7 for track days? I’m doing my first HPDE and follow on track days at Summit Point in my 2017 Z51. I have Suntek PPF on front areas but I’m not appoosed to adding a bra for track usage for protection. The reviews on the NoviStretch Front Bra referencing tearing on regular highway trips so doesn’t sound like a good fit for track usage.
The makers of Xpel also make a product called Tracwrap, it can applied over Xpel and can be removed without any harm to the clear bra. My Xpel installer game me a roll of Tracwrap to cover part of my GS for the 50 mile drive to his shop, it went on easy and is thick enough to offer good paint protection.
Look for a product called track wrap or track tape. It’s a thick cellophane like material that’s self stick with a low level adhesive that you can easily remove after the event. And it’s easy to apply, just make sure you don’t block off airflow to brake ducts and radiators.

The nose of the car should be fine with what you have on it. A bra won't provide sufficient cooling air and could flutter quite a bit in the wind and damage your Suntek or even the paint. Bra's don't work well at speeds above 100 mph.
A low cost option is the use of Collision Wrap. It comes in several different sizes and before I put Expel on my C7 I used it on my C6Z. I used the 18 inch by 100 ft long roll which would cover the car for a season. Cost $50 for a roll shipped to the house. Once laid on the car I used the Scotch 233+ green two inch autobody painters tape to cover the seams/edges. Worked great, easy on and even easier off especially if pulled off right after last session of the event while the car and its body was still hot.
