Both guys did a hell of a job, that's pretty impressive - the 2:01.790 is Randy in a totally stock P3D. I think tires are the main difference there as Randy likely got the fast lap before brakes would overheat.
I still ended up with a soft pedal at the end of the day. How do you guys manage to keep your brake temps under control? Do you alternate between fast laps and cool down laps?
Granted I was in the beginner group but I averaged 2:18 the last session. I never had brake fade but had one heat warning during the second lap. I realized after that my AC was on the whole session (oops). I've got a Stealth with the MPP BBK in front and rear, brake lines and MPP street pads up front. Could be that stock PUP isn't quite up to snuff.Great event! I'm getting better, but still about ~10s off the best times. My personal best was 2:11, a 6 second improvement from my fully-stock run at Corsa 2. This time, I came prepared with pad, fluid (Motul), and stainless steel line upgrades from UP.

I do similar to kbecks and treat every other lap as a cool-down before trying a fast lap. The stock rotors on the RWD are a joke, so they have to be managed carefully to not overheat. The challenge I have with the cool-down laps is that I don't want to slow those behind me, but also don't want to give them a point-by right before starting a fast lap. That often causes me to go a little faster on my slow laps than I'd like. Finally did find the right SD card with my best lap, a 2:12, which was the very last lap of the day after two fairly slow laps.I still ended up with a soft pedal at the end of the day.

Yep, you probably just went fast for the whole session? I typically do a medium lap after the fast one (not totally slow, maybe a 2:30 or 2:40 time instead of 2:10 with less braking)

Interestingly, I did not get the brake temp warning on the screen this time, but I could definitely feel it in reduced pedal firmness. The car never had trouble stopping, which is good.
I got new wheels/tires too. Wheels are Titan7 T-S5 19" and tires are Michilen Pilot Sport 4S.Nice. Was that on the stock all seasons, or did you switch to other wheels/tires?
What where the quickest rwd times? What mods?

Yea i've seen that brake temp warning twice and both times i got the warning AFTER noticing brake fade, so it's not the best alert TBH. By the time you get that alert, your brakes are pretty darn hot and you need to be super careful.
Is possible I had some fade and don't notice. I'd never driven on a track before. I never felt like the brakes changed much.Interesting I have the same brake set up and my friend ran my car the first session of the day in green group and had brake fade right away.
Rest of the day was really disappointed I choose the MPP street pads. Interesting you had no fade with same pads.
My best time of the day was 2:19
I had the white/white dual motor with MPP rotors, lines, and pads with ATE fluid. 20” Performance model wheels and tires @ 38 psi
Yup. I only saw the overheat warning once in the middle of my session with the AC on full blast. Never saw it again.We got this alert right away by the second lap! So you are all not getting this alert constantly?
It was nice meeting you by the way, we ran into you one more time at the super charger at the end of the day by the gas station.

Steven Chan by far with 2:06.7. My 2:12 was next fastest, but paled in comparison. His mods are listed in his video description.
Get out there and try it! I love the RWD. I do find brake over-heat to be more of an issue than power reduction, but I have stock calipers & rotors. Both brakes and power can be managed with a few slower laps between the quick ones.Pretty mild mods... and it’s still pretty quick. This is motivating me to see what the rwd is capable of.
