Default End of the track season (pics)

Unfortunatelly, the track season is over in my country, so I will have to wait till the next year.

Michelin Pilot Sports that ran 16 of 30min sessions and are still usable



My brakes didn't look so nice after my last lap :











When I was changing my rotors, I discovered that Brembo no longer uses cutting the edge for balancing. They use some springs put inside the vanes instead:



Can't wait for the next season

Interesting. How are the springs attached to the rotor?

I assume they are just pushed there somehow, I will try to check it.

Still not using a helmet? You really should buy one during the winter, for next season.
Even though it aint required at the tracks your attending.

Unfortunatly, the season is over here in Norway as well.
Had my last trackday last weekend.
Thinking about moving to another country, where i can race all year long.

dude, check your brakes more often... they should never get to that point in my opinion.

No way, that was cool! I've never seen *that* wear pattern on a rotor before!

J/K.. buy two sets of front pads and rotors next time, always have a spare set. They're too easy to change to bother going on track with no front pads.
