Thanks, the brakes are my primary worry. I'm used to the Ford, where you can hammer on them all weekend without having to worry about fade, or using up the pads. How hard can you use the breaks for a full session, assuming alternate pad compounds, 80%? Hard for a few laps, then some cool-down laps?

I'm racing in Club FF with a 1980 Van Dieman, but I destroyed the engine when the crankshaft failed, so it looks like I'll be sitting on the side-lines for a while.
Take Care!
