Regarding the brakes.
I initially went on the track with standard brake fliud and boiled it, meaning no brakes at 110mph and a corner infront of me :shock: A slightly altered line enabled me to scrub off the speed, but not a nice position to find yourself
I was advised to put EBC discs and Ferodo DS2500 pads all round. I did this before my first track day and have not had any fade (apart from the boiling incident above). Apparently the standard discs and pads fade after a couple of laps

ops:
RSE supplied me with the discs, pads and fluid.
Hope that helps,
David
