[s-cars] Taka: Brake fade

[Kevin Barnett]

For me, it's Bertone x-1/9 (track and autocross car),
Motul DOT 600 and Red Stuff pads.

I always use Motul DOT 5.1 in my street x-1/9 with
Ferodos and Motul DOT 5.1 with Hawk HPS+ on the S4.

Right product for the right application.

Now when I was serious about Solo 1, I ran a GTI VR6
with Motul  DOT 600 and Hawk Blue's on the track with
their own rotors and DOT 600 with Ferodo Fast Street
pads with their own rotors on the street.

Again, right product for the right application.

Best regards.
Kevin
