Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Brake Fade a risk for first time tracker?

brucelidat · 11-27-2011, 09:32 PM

Hi,

I've read a lot about brake fade on this forum and am wondering how big of a risk/ how likely is it that I may encounter it as a complete newbie going to the track for the first time (ever in any car). I have the stock sport package brakes and wasn't planning on replacing my pads for better ones until I actually needed new pads. I am at 4100 miles only so it will be some time before then. My friend says as a beginner, I won't be pushing it hard enough for brake fade to affect me, but I am a little worried and am wondering what you all think since many of you are very knowledgeable.

Thanks
