Decided to touch my car today.....we needed a few days away from each other

Snapped some pictures of my brakes after Manication.

Started with fresh front PFC rotors, and new PFC08 pads

I did not filp the fonts during the trip, they tapered a bit

How many track days are on them? they look about 50-60% done which is amazing longevity.

Do you know if PFC is making PFC-08 for the Brembo GT 6-piston and 4-piston calipers?

I'm shopping for brakes for the Fiat, and essentially I'm going with smaller front rotors (bye bye CCB), and aftermarket calipers with enough availability of track pads.

They have 10 track days on them, entire Mancation II.

They felt so good we forgot to look at them and when I put new pads in there was no difference! I think I can get 6 days out of them at Sebring, maybe 8. but with good pedal feel, no plipping pads, no bedding, no flipping, just run.

It's weird how you can't see the crazy elevations. Camera's are tricky.

Funny the comentary mention improvements in an interview.

When we were there a helicopter landed and a bunch of suits got out and starting pointing around the facilities and track!. Izzone, looks like we get to go back to a new and improved Mosport!

I can't believe these Bergmeister and Henzler guys are beating my laptime..

Good to hear the improvements won't affect the "personality"

Speaking of beating your lap times, did you see the guys go three-wide through 5B

Yup, just heard and watched it all! indeed.
You think I can get some track insurance, slap some slicks on and sign up for GTC?? Hahahaha LOL.

Unsurprisingly there is a TON of contact!. "The flaggers will have popeye arms the end of the day" No kidding.
