Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Track Brake Suggestions

[Adam Green (FlatCrank]

Check with performance friction, usually called just PFC, to see if they have a pad to suit the size and compound for track days.

Fluid won't be the issue so long it's fresh and there's a proper flush and bleed.  It's the thickness of the pad and maybe installing a titanium reflector plate between the pad and the caliper pistons.

If you're "late braking" it's also a matter of technique (especially at Laguna Seca) to develop the technique of straight line braking at the markets, then trail-braking to the apex.  If that's unfamiliar, I'm happy to point to some more information.

Hi Guys,

Now that the 308 will have new brakes and new rubber, I plan on taking it out to Pikes Peak International Raceway down in Colorado Springs for some hot laps with my son.  Last time I did that it was at Laguna Seca, and I really felt my brakes fading after about 8 laps.

 

Thus…. Do you guys have any suggestions for brake fluid and pads that I should use to minimize this? 

 

Happy Labor Day!
