Right?! Otherwise I'd just stick to iracing and other video games instead of camping out in the paddock all weekend 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 Last edited by nicknaz; 09-06-2019 at 05:53 PM.. |

I've never run the front stock calipers on the F80 or the E9X, just the PFC BBK, but I did run the rears on the F80 and turned them green and burnt the dust boots in a weekend, so now there's a BBK back there as well (AP Radical in the rear of the F80) It really says something when I can deplete a 28mm pad over a 2 day weekend due to braking like a nutjob but never run into performance issues with the brakes. If I did not push braking zones then the pads would last plenty, but believe me, there is no more effective way to get a Cup car out of your way than 'terror tactics', aka them thinking you are going to plow into them in each braking zone Now it seems like SRF is hard to come by in the US, so I've spent some time buying that good stuff from everyone I could find and now have 10 bottles sitting downstairs in the basement together with my pads and rotors. That's how good that it is |

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

Not to debate nor project my ego, but just sharing what I learned personally while still endlessly learning. Edit: For novice/intermediate you are right on braking hard will actually lose time and it's correct to say braking hard is not a way for easy lap time improvement. So my statement is wrong in that sense and I can be bashed. But for maximizing braking while also maximizing all other- entry-mid-exit speed, I think it gives significant improvements.

Also, in terms of lap times, braking is not just about slowing the car down. Getting the balance and setup of the car through corners is just as important. Finessing the brake pedal to balance the car, maximise corner speed is where there is a lot of time to be gained for novices. The brake pedal is not an on/off switch, and you don’t necessarily want to be slamming it on at the last possible moment. |

I can't say enough good things about having a driver data logger, data from a front runner competitor, and same day data from a faster teammate, and a friend/coach to help out. Now that I'm within 5% of the car's target time, qualitative feedback isn't as helpful anymore. |

I do a full flush every 50x20 min sessions (~2000kms)
I bleed the callipers all 6 nipples every 10-20 depending on pedal feel
