I have to mention that I added metal zip ties and intentionally left the plastic ones to see if they melt after some hard track use and they both held up just fine,YMMV
with that said I still had some fading especially when coming close to the T3 but soon after that brakes recover I think it's due to brake cooling, I will also need to address the rubbing issues I will most likely raise the car a little bit..
here is some footage from the last event

What kind of pads are you on? Sounds like it's time to get some better pads; you're just barely hitting the limits of your pads, and it'll get worse as you get faster.
