To be frank with you, i have no hard proof that this mod will prevent brake "ice mode" i have been experiencing during sessions. I am looking for enough fresh air to keep the rotors from reaching the temp level (whatever it is) when they do not work as they should... Usually, on a 30 minutes session, i wouldn’t have any issues before the last 10 to 5 minutes.

I just hope the extra fresh air will keep the rotors temperature below that threshold.

Will try to get some rotor temp readings during initial lapping day in May.
