Works for me...
Awful advice. A beginner driving a bone stock brz/86 with a coach on the passenger seat will easily exceed the capacity of lesser 'sports' fluids like Motul RBF600, ending the day with a dangerously soft brake pedal.

On any single track day, you're spending hundreds of dollars in track fees, gas and amortization of consumables (tires, engine oil, trans oil, brake pads, etc etc etc) , plus risking total loss on a $25K+ vehicle. It wouldn't be smart to incurr in all those costs, and still choose not to use a proper motorports brake fluid.
