Here's a quick clip of my PB at Sebring this past weekend, I was able to put together a decent lap on my fifth session.

For context it was 90+ degree weather all day but I was able to do 6 full 20 min sessions without any hiccups, the car was perfect all day!

Damn thats impressive its been hot as hell here lol

How much brake fluid should I buy when doing a brake flush? I plan on getting the Castrol SRF brake fluid, but really have no idea how much I'd need since this is my first time doing this

I just used one bottle.

You told me two.

I used two on R1 and one on R2. Sorry for any confusion! Just call me dude!!!!

 

[Rhorn]

Wait whats R1 and R2?

 

[TW00Si]

I am guessing first type R and second type R?

Correct. I was overly cautious on R1. On R2 money was tight and I only flushed one bottle before the track. Good news...no brake fade, which means that one bottle was satisfactory.

R1 was the white R, and R2 is the black R.

For the first flush -- I'd play it safe with 2 bottles. SRF doesn't play well with other fluids, so you want to really make sure you get it all out. After that, you can use a single bottle for regular maintenance. You won't die, but its on FCP Euro anyway Lifetime Warranty anyway.

Major improvement at Ridge last weekend, but temps yielded only a slight quicker PB. Data review yielded the car just didn't charge as hard in the 75*+ temps vs the 55-60* range -- shocker, right

If you haven't considered professional-grade coaching -- I'm fully a believer now. The amount we were able to cover across 2 days would have taken far more days on track + far more consumables to hopefully ever get to. Completely elevated my game, while simultaneously being less abusive on the car and its tires!

That looks like a fun track. The elevation change is nice. Almost like half of a corkscrew. Where is this?

This is the The Ridge -- it's in Shelton, WA about 90 minutes outside of Seattle. Definitely in my Top 5 alongside Road Atlanta, PittRace, VIR, and Oregon Raceway Park
