The R35 GT-Rs have some impressive Brembo BBKs as OEM equipment, and have been known to turn the orange painted calipers towards a brown colour when used hard on the road course. Different courses will exert differing effects, but stopping a really fast, almost 4,000lb car, (like a CLK BS, GT-R, etc), down repeatedly from high speed can discolour the brakes. This will be seen far more on tracks that don't have longer straight sections allowing the brakes to cool down sufficiently before being subjective to extreme thermal stress again.

Forgetting the brakes for a moment, what an impressive array of cars, Simon. They look great and kudos to you.
