As everyone else has said, at minimum do a quality DOT 4 fluid. If your pads are the standard off the shelf R1 pads, you'll likely find the limit to them within your session(s), but fading pads is much less butt puckery than boiling fluid. What Nitto tires did you go with?

Without any of the fancy cooling, the only thing I've experienced is the trans getting a little pissed when hot. I've had temps similar to JayRows (high 250s) and the car handled it just fine.

Definitely interested to hear how you like it!

Thanks for the good info everyone and Tyler. I went with the NT555G2 Nittos. The word I would use to describe them is deliberate. Put the car where you want it to go and it goes. Excellent tire on the road.

Can chevy do the brake fluid or should I go to a shop?

I've had the 555G2's on my Cobalt for a few years, great street tire for the price. I assume Chevy could do a flush, fill, and bleed. Not sure what they'd charge however, I always do it myself. IMO bleeding after every event seems a bit much, but once or twice a season isn't going to hurt anything. Get yourself a Motive Power Bleeder to be able to bleed yourself, saves a ton of time.

Chevy will do it. For the price they quoted me it was cheaper to buy the fluid and the Motive unit and do it myself. I was looking for an excuse to add that pressure bleeder to the tool box

This 3 pack of Motul RBF 600 will be enough to do a full flush with enough left over to bleed again after your track day. This Motive Power Bleeder kit includes the proper adapter for our brake fluid resevoir. There's a thread covering a couple people having issues getting the Motive to seal. I used the aluminum cap included in this kit with the thick gasket and it held 15psi without issue.

After (or just before) each event, you wouldn't be fully flushing the fluid. Maybe 500 ml total from all four corners, which approximates a full system flush every three times.

I would just get srf fluid honestly. You can leave it in for a long time, dont have to worry about the next time you go out, etc. It just seems easier to me than having to buy motul every time
