Were you able to keep up with oil temps and see how they did at the event?
I am curious, as Sebring is typically a power track with a lot of heavy braking zones.
Hope everything goes more smoothly your next time out!

AP Brakes worked great, never had any fade and didn't boil the fluid. I have the factory backing plates removed to allow some more air to move around them. The Performance Friction 01 compound pads held up very well, used about 25% of the pad over the weekend, plenty of material left for a few more events.
I was using an OBDLink to monitor oil temps and only saw 270's at the end of 2 back to back sessions in the afternoon. Averaged 260-265 for the earlier sessions using 0W-20 Castrol Edge Synthetic, didn't monitor oil pressure. But will likely switch to a 0w-30 to ensure I don't run into any pressure issues.
Sebring is definitely a momentum track for the BRZ, does better than most cars in the turns, but gets killed in the straights.
Some decent lap footage here:
