Thanks, I am very much a beginner with my feet and there is a lot of practice to do. But once the basics is there the practice is a lot of fun.
I got asked about the brake wear by PM, and if the Porsche cooling made a difference in wear between the inside and outside pad. I actually took a lot of pictures when checking them last week. Feel free to write here or via PM as you please if you have more questions. I just thought when uploading pictures I might as well share it here for others to see too.
For now there is no difference to be seen between inside and outside.
Those are the left hand pads and are both worn the same: from 17 to 15.2 mm with 65 track laps, almost exclusively on Zolder, which is very hard on the brakes.
These are sintered metal brake pads and appear to hold up very well:
If the wear difference would be the same with organic pads I don't know. I am very happy with these CL RC5+ pads! I have no issues driving them cold on the streets either. When used properly (occasional heating up) and building up a transfer layer on the disc they are very quiet too. After some days driving casually and
especially after washing the wheels with brake dust remover (which will invariably end up on the brakes discs too) they start to squeal when braking slowly. It goes away again after some hard braking, and the wheels are dirty again.
This is what the rotors looks like just after washing the car and cleaning the rims. When there is more transfer layer, they have a more mat greyish surface. The rotors look like they took quite some abuse and depending on how the brakes hold up next track day, I might replace them with something better soon (DBA or Tarox) or at least when they are due for a change.
And finally the rear of the pads. I was very generous with ceramic brake paste when I installed them. You can't recognise that the are CL pads anymore, as far as I recall the backing plate was orange. It certainly got hot down there.
