Brake pad still can use for track?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I use this project mu club racer for two track days and in the last session I feel the brake pedal became soft, before I think my brake fluid got air in it, but when I change back to my street pads( ferodo ds2500) I didn't feel that and I saw my club racer like this in pic, is this still can use? My brake fluid is endless 650 Attachment 119990

Stop using ABS.

You can keep using that pad.

Just because you aren't feeling it, doesn't mean you're not using it.

Your pad clearly shows overheating, and your other posts indicate to me that you're a novice, and 99% of the time, this means you're using ABS, which causes your brakes to overheat, massively, and quickly.

XP10's are rated for basically the same temperature range as the club racers, so I wouldn't expect anything different.

What tires are you running? How long are the sessions you're running?

How long are the sessions though? That's MUCH more important than how many you run in a day.

If you're overheating club racers in 20 minutes on those tires, I would suspect it's something in how you're driving. Either ABS, or dragging on the brakes for too long every braking zone (vs a short hard brake application).

In the last session, so it is about 80mins already

Unless they're 20 minute sessions back to back, the brakes are fully cooled by the next session...

It looks like somebody hates to admit that his skill level might be the culprit. ;)

Come on. It's nothing to be ashamed of nor do you need to make any excuses. You just need to have plenty of seat time with an attitude to learn from anyone and everyone. Everyone has to start from somewhere!

I am not ashamed to admit that I'm a noob and have too much to learn :D

Is there a simple way how to switch ABS on/off? Also same question for airbags.

Pull any wheel speed sensor or the fuse.

Pull the fuse for airbags.
