This video from EpartTrade with Pagid superstar Ian Berwick and Driving Champion Marc Miller is terrific. Ian has a long history in race cars and is super knowledgeable. He understands the whole car, brake system, and the hard core data on brake pads. He's in a racing paddock almost every weekend and knows his stuff.

I liked how they give you the background data on how you can use brake pad temps to make the right pad selection and they explain how pad heating can change the grip characteristics you feel in the pad. My embedded pad thermocouples, rubbing sensors, and IR sensors are perfect to collect the data to do this on your own car.

Another Rennlist member's comments,

To me what all this comes down to is ...............

(1) Racing and Tracking your Porsche

(2) NOT Racing or Tracking your Porsche

I find it actually somewhat amusing when I read here on Rennlist about the stock GT4 brakes and they are not enough.
Seriously, the brakes on the 718 GT4 are the brakes from the Porsche GT3, right ???
So how in the world are those same GT3 brakes NOT capable on the 718 GT4, really ............

Rennlist is an Awesome internet site but some of the Crazy things that one sees and reads on here sometimes makes one wonder.

Thanks for passing this along Matt. Working my way through it and am finding it interesting.

 

Ian is fantastic.

 

He really is. I'm happy to call him a friend and spend a chunk of time with him at PRI. He's always a wealth of knowledge and happy to help racers out. If people have follow up questions to these, they should most definitely reach out to him.
