·At least 100 very fast laps of Donnington, notoriously hard on brakes, resulting in no fade and no problems, just solid very hard braking time after time. Paint on the AP front discs showed temperatures of about 550 max, which is medium heat. There was a front/rear temperature differential with the brake ducts on, so we are going to try bigger ducting to get a better spread of cold air.
The only thing was that the pedal would fractionally soften (really very tiny amount) after, say, a solid 30 minutes of fast laps - to do with the high heat, but instant recovery - it didn't affect the brake performance at all.
Awesome awesome awesome. For those that don't remember the setup - AP 6pot front, 330mm grooved discs (not drilled), Pagid RS42 pads, PE brake ducts, Castrol SRF fluid, goodridge lines front and rear, rear AP 4pot calipers and RS42 pads.
