Default Thunderhill 5 miles in 113 degree heat (Video)

Heat is not good for the car. I lost some power, mental capacity, but more importantly, I lost my brakes. Even though I has 996 GT3 brake calipers and 350mm rotors... it could not withstand 50 min of constant beating. My brake pedal went to the floor coming into turn 14 before the front straight... I was able to carve a wider arc and down shift into second to save from hitting the barrier. 5 sec off my fastest pace. 2nd time at Thunderhill 5 miles... I know all these excuses.. Just watch
