Yep, plus the speeds are different.

Naturally these are sprint day speeds NOT happy laps speeds.

I normally enter the main straight at 100kmh and enter turn 1 at 140, the exit of turn 2/start of the back straight is also at 140-145kmh, the entry into turn 3 is about 80kmh and during a race you're breaking as late as possible. As you can see you have the potential to be going a lot faster at the end of the back straight than the front and the corner at the back is much tighter and slower.

I am keen to test that out one day Mike

I'm surprised you still have standard brakes on the SS

The speed you are carrying on the main and back straights + breaking late on that national circuit must ruin them

QR don't run sprints on the National circuit, only their general practice. When I was out last I got good laps but on my 4th I has some serious brake fade at the end of the back straight.

Brakes are mostly standard, BDA4000 slotted rotors and EBA Redstuffs and braided lines with RPF600 fluid.

Okay, so, I may have overreacted to my coolant system failure last weekend...

Genuine hoses and ebay radiator.

probably the only part under the bonnet you can get too anyway,lol,that should fix it anyway.

Speaking of brakes - I know this is probably the wrong place to ask, but the right place for the people I'd respect the answer from most - what should I put on a V36 350GT? I have a very bad habit of warping or hotspotting discs in all my previous cars, and want to nip this in the budd before I start doing any damage.

Not me, and I sure as hell hope it wasn't my car! Mine is Blade Silver...

I only just got it this week. So unless the dealer was giving it a thrashing I doubt it was mine! :P

Got any footage or pics, I could probably ID it if it was mine...
