Warped brakes on the track again -Time for brake cooling?
Hello everyone,
For the second time this summer I have warped my front rotors on the track. Did the proper cool down laps after each 20 minute lapping session with no braking and even left my car in neutral with no hand brake for 15 minutes after each track session and still ended up with warped brake rotors.
I'm running stock brakes and pads with ATE race brake fluid.
I've been told that two changes I can make to avoid this in the future would be to swap to track pads and/or to set up some brake cooling ducts to the front brakes.
Has anyone had similar issues? What do you guys think?
Thanks

Brake cooling ducts will always help, too.
