Thanks very much for the discussion - I've been happy with the RBF600 fluid and definitely wouldn't have wanted to try the track with the DOT3 fluid, everything got really hot! I've definitely looked at the rotors carefully, had a few people tell me they were remarkably smooth and even, so I must be doing something right, or going way too slow!
One question for Norm- what do you mean by "Getting hard on the brakes quickly and hard (as opposed to gradually like almost everybody always does in street driving) will have you catching lots of drivers with comparable track experience under braking." Do you mean catching like catching up to or catching like seeing other drivers under braking?
I definitely like your benchmark point of using the entire track width because you have to, not because it feels "cool" to be driving "on the racing line" - very good point. And yes, I like the tire sound in the corners, I wasn't sure if that was a good noise or not, but sounds like having noise but no slip (still have traction, but just at the limit) is where I want to be? I'm on a new set of the Pirelli P-Zero stock tires, I've liked them as a good every-day tire that has held up well on the track so far. I'm down to 10/32" tread after two track days and 3 months of daily driving, which seems reasonable to me. Seem to end up with a lot of melted rubber on the chrome part of the wheels, but I guess the heat just makes the tires stickier?
