EDIT: @ohioRiderAaron and @SVT_Shadow, aren't both of you using 100tw tires and driving hard enough to turn the blue calipers green? Truly, one brake fluid change per year is working for you guys? How many track hours is that in between changes. thanks for the perspective |
One fluid change per year, never had an issue with fluid whether Motul or OE. Sorry I don't have a log of track hours; multiple events (Watkins/Pitt/NCM), running "instructor" pace for most sessions. Honestly I'd bet you could over a year of use out of it without issues, but I prefer to have everything fresh at the beginning of the track season.

In fact, I'd say most novice and intermediate can gain way more time by braking LESS and increase cornering speeds.

Novice and immediate should work on carrying more speed in the tighter section areas first then work up the speed in the high V-max areas. Eventually every area of the track matters tho
. My experience is I always leave a few tenths out there if I dont get those extra few mph on the back/front straights.
