Unfortunately, brake fade settles in right around when I've settled into a consistent groove.

This time since I'm taking a different car for the first time, I'm going in the B group so I don't feel as pushed for pace and I can manage brakes better while I learn how the car handles.

Thanks for the pad advice -- Do the Hawks squeal on the street? I normally wouldn't mind swapping pads but at my apartment in LA I have no garage where I can do it myself, so I'll have to pay a shop to prep my car.
All race pads do, that is the trade off for race pads vs. OE/street pads.
