Default Brake Fluid Used During AutoCross and Road Racing

I went to the track with R brakes and EBC Reds
after 2 laps no brake pedal.
(keep in mind I bled the brakes the day before, so no bubbles)

Now, I know I have to change Booster and Master which I haven't yet.

but more importantly what fluid do you guys use???
I was told Motul 600 is great
and most people also create air ducts to vent the bakes.

Any Suggestions ???

After two laps..........it's not your brake fluid. Your brake pads are just gassing. Bed your pads in better next time.

I'd have to agree that it's not the fluid... I've run Motul 600 (w/ Carbotech pads) at Sebring for about 30 minute sessions without any fluid problems

Yeah, get those POS pads off your car ASAP.

use the terms 'brakes' , 'pads', and 'fluid'. Select "archived topics". Grab a beer or three and set aside an hour or two.
