Here it is. This is technically for breaking in a new clutch, but is said to work for a so-called glazed clutch as well. I find it interesting that this procedure calls for PSM to be activated, given that the Carrera GT does not offer PSM as standard or optional. 
After installation of a new PCCC in a vehicle, the former must be tested for torque capacity and, if necessary, broken in. Should this be the case, the following procedure is to be adhered to in detail.
Caution
Testing the torque capacity of the PCCC may only occur under the following conditions:
PSM in the vehicle must be active.
The road surface must be absolutely dry.
Acceleration under full load is only permissible on straight stretches and is not permitted in corners.
Sufficient friction values between road surface and tyres must be guaranteed.
The inspection may only be performed in appropriate traffic and only by persons familiar with handling maximum performance sports vehicles.
Testing moving off
1. The vehicle shall be moved off at approx. 4,000 rpm and with the PCCC grinding for approx. 1 second.
2. The vehicle shall then be immediately accelerated under full load up to and including third gear. The acceleration process is stopped in third gear at 4,500 rpm. Vehicle speed is then roughly 100 km/h (62 mph).
Information
If the PCCC slips during acceleration, continue with the cool-off phase.
If there is no clutch slippage, this PCCC is OK.
Cool-off phase
1. For cooling off, the vehicle shall be driven under low loads in the second, third and fourth gear. During this time, the PCCC shall be successively opened in combination with gear shifts. After approx. 5 min, the cool-off phase has been completed and the acceleration test can begin.
Acceleration test
1. Accelerate under full load in second and third gear up to an engine speed of 4,500 rpm. Vehicle speed is then roughly 100 km/h (62 mph).
Information
If the PCCC slips, continue with the cool-off phase. After that, the entire procedure, beginning with testing moving off, must be repeated.

My feelings is this. People glazed their clutch, thought they ruined it, dealers obliged with a 30k repaired for a new one and these stories of clutches glazing and being fried started.
They are not fried. If you have the depth in the clutch it just needs this procedure. Much better than 30k repair and I’d say 90% of the time unnecessary.
My clutch is 70% left with 7k miles first clutch. I needed to do this procedure when we first purchased it. One owner car and I bet he just said sell it when the clutch slipped. With that repair being 10% of total value it made no sense at that time. Just my observations over the years.

In Texas, at say less than 15mph over the limit, a speeding ticket within the city limits generally will run about $225 with the State getting $96 of it. Out in the county where DPS patrols or if you are more than 15mph over the limit, costs can easily reach $350 or higher.
