I could only do 1/2 the normal session all day, I'm definitely upgrading to harder pads...

That really is a mystery...I took my stock configuration to Hockenheim and suffered brake fade after 15~20 minutes of hard driving...changed to ferodos, changed fluids to dot 5.1 and installed ss lines.

Then went all out at the Nurburgring and had zero issues...but that
was only three laps with some unintended cool down after each lap.

What do you attribute the fade to?
