Some guys here don't experience any brake heat issues but more than 3/4 of the F8x drivers I track with do.

I think it probably has a lot to do with all the speed and airflow on the ring even with lack of ducts. I would also assume that they're using street tires and not threshold braking with a full car of people. Aren't the taxis M5s? Or do they have others?
