Even with full race pads, the 135i brakes still lacks thermal capacity, it needs larger rotors! However, with proper cooling ducts, race pads, very high temp fluid and good brake management by the driver, you may be able to go 20 laps without issues.
You mention proper cooling ducts. I didn't see any on your site. Can you direct me in the right direction please. Thanks!
