    surprised no one commented, its a good video.. also a good evidence that the standard brakes are useless... considered upgrading them to brembo's or something?

    Boiled the fluid, smoked the tiny brakes in no time.

    No surprise, it doesnt look fast but ive driven the Ring a few times and some bits are proper fast, not like you get on British roads!


    Good vid Marco, thanks for sharing!

    I had tarox discs and standard pads and this is normally sufficient on a normal track but this is Nurburg Ring and it demands more. Ive driven on other tracks with this set up and never expirienced fading. I tell you its pretty scary when the brakes dont work anymore but mostly annoying cuz I cant make a good time. Luckyly i had made extra air feed to the discs and they cooled down after a minute or so. Funny is that I made 5 laps in total and my brakes faded at the same spot all 5 times, mid section.

    Nevertheless it was by far the most exciting thing Ive done so far
