post track brakes knackered?

Guest

New member
I did my first trackday in the 911 last week at Bedford. Although the day was great and the car behaved perfectly I have subsequently noticed a nasty juddering from the brakes.
I'm no mechanical expert but I'm guessing I've warped the discs after possibly cooking the brakes on track. (maybe I stayed out too long?)
They were fairly new discs and pads (3 month old) so I'm a little dissappointed that this might have occurred so soon.
Can anybody shed any light on what I might have done and a possible remedy?
Do I need to upgrade the front discs/pads, fluid and braided hoses for future trackdays?
I'm sure my driving skill (or lack of it) will come into question so I should say I've done quite a few trackdays over the years in Caterhams and Lotus's and never had this problem.

Please help!
 
Did you do warm up laps when you went on the track?

Did you do cool down laps before coming off the track?
 
yep, warm up and cool down laps each time

Plus no handbrake in the paddock etc.

I'm totally baffled.

Of course it might not be warped discs at all....
 
Ah ha - I thought it was a bit odd they should have warped so easily.
I'm moving to Pagid blue pads & I'll also look at getting the standard discs skimmed.

cheers Slider
